Synopsis
Zhiling, a celestial being, descends to the mortal realm to find his lonely older brother, Tianxiao, but ends up dying and becoming a spirit. Now relegated to the shadows with poor cultivation skills, he attempts to protect his brother from afar, only to realize that Tianxiao is also a ghost. This BL tale reads like a supernatural slice-of-life vignette, utilizing hidden identity and failed cultivation tropes. It is best suited for readers who enjoy brief, quirky romances with a paranormal twist, while those seeking epic world-building or long-form character arcs should look elsewhere. The pacing is brisk, bordering on abrupt, with the primary appeal lying in the ironic dynamic between the two brothers and the comedic struggle of a spirit who cannot quite master his spells.

Editorial Review
This is a completed work that functions more as a short story than a full-length novel. Its primary strength lies in its whimsical premise; the irony of a spirit attempting to catch his own brother adds a layer of charm to the BL dynamic. However, the narrative's brevity is its most significant weakness. With only nine chapters, there is little room for the emotional stakes or the relationship to breathe, leaving the resolution feeling rushed. Given the extremely low view count and the minimal chapter count, it lacks the substance to be a standout title in the library. It serves as a light, disposable read, but it fails to provide the depth or complexity expected from a developed supernatural romance.
