Synopsis
Song Shu lived his life as a skeptic until a funeral for Faxiao triggered the return of suppressed memories, forcing him to confront a supernatural reality. He now seeks a way to erase these haunting visions, guided by a Taoist priest's advice to burn a mysterious book to reclaim his normalcy. This narrative reads like a condensed paranormal romance or a supernatural urban legend vignette. It is ideal for readers who enjoy brief, atmospheric BL stories with occult elements, though those seeking complex world-building or genuine horror should skip it. Given its extremely short length, the pacing is rapid, focusing more on a singular mood than a sprawling plot. The standout quality is the intriguing concept of forced skepticism through memory suppression.

Editorial Review
As an editor, I find this piece to be more of a conceptual sketch than a fully realized novel. Its primary strength lies in its atmospheric premise; the idea of suppressed memories acting as a shield against the supernatural provides a strong hook for a short BL piece. However, the narrative's greatest weakness is its extreme brevity. With only four chapters, there is insufficient room for character development or a satisfying resolution to the conflict introduced. The transition from skepticism to supernatural acceptance happens too quickly to feel earned. While the author attempts to blend horror and romance, the execution feels tentative. It serves as a decent atmospheric exercise, but it lacks the substance required to leave a lasting impact on the reader. It is a completed work, but its scale makes it feel like a prologue rather than a full story.
