Synopsis
Tang Jiu finds himself drawn to the cycle of reincarnation for a singular, peculiar reason: the desire to taste the legendary Meng Po soup. In this supernatural setting, the act of forgetting one's past becomes a central lure rather than a loss. This brief work reads like a conceptual mythological vignette or a short-form supernatural romance trope. It is ideal for readers looking for a quick, atmospheric BL piece with a fantasy twist, but those seeking deep character arcs or an expansive world will find it lacking. Given its minimal length, the pacing is abrupt, focusing more on a specific mood and a singular interaction between Tang Jiu and Meng Po than a traditional plot. The standout quality is its focused, almost poetic approach to the concept of oblivion.

Editorial Review
The primary strength of this work lies in its focused premise, utilizing the mythology of Meng Po to create a specific, atmospheric mood within the BL genre. However, the most glaring weakness is its extreme brevity. With only two chapters, the story functions more as a sketch or a prologue than a fully realized narrative. While the completed status is technically accurate, there is simply not enough content to establish meaningful tension or character development between Tang Jiu and Meng Po. The inclusion of horror and magic tags suggests a broader ambition that the current length cannot possibly satisfy. As an editor, I find it difficult to recommend this as a standalone story; it feels like a fragment of a larger idea that was never fully expanded. It serves as a curiosity rather than a compelling read.
