Synopsis
Wu Jinting begins his career as a funeral worker in the sterile, subterranean depths of a hospital mortuary. His routine is quickly disrupted on his third day when he encounters a mysterious stranger. This man is an anomaly, bearing an uncanny resemblance to a person recorded as deceased in the mortuary's logs from a week prior. This short work reads like a supernatural mystery blended with urban paranormal romance, utilizing the ghostly encounter trope to drive its brief narrative. It is ideal for readers seeking a quick, atmospheric BL story with an eerie edge, while those who prefer expansive world-building or long-term character arcs should skip it. Given its brevity, the pacing is rapid, focusing heavily on the immediate tension of the encounter. The standout quality is the stark, moody setting which establishes an instant sense of dread and curiosity.

Editorial Review
This piece serves more as a conceptual sketch or a very short story than a traditional novel. The primary strength lies in its immediate hook; the juxtaposition of a mortuary setting with a man who should be dead creates an instant, compelling tension. However, the narrative's greatest weakness is its length. With only four chapters, there is simply not enough room to flesh out the relationship between the leads or explore the supernatural mechanics of the world. While the completed status ensures a conclusion, the brevity leaves the reader wanting more substance. It functions well as a mood piece, but it lacks the structural weight required for a satisfyingly developed plot. For an editor, it feels like a promising premise that was truncated, leaving the characters as archetypes rather than fully realized people.
