About This Novel

The rusty iron railings of the old pier are always stained with the smell of seawater that cannot be washed away. Tang Weijie, an auto mechanic who is unemployed and faced with a sharp increase in rent, picks up a metal box with a rattan pattern in a drainage ditch, which contains a ticket to the "Styx" - a ghost ship that has sunk for thirty years. Legend has it that it takes 300 scarred souls to sail back to the earth. Chen Hehai, who is wearing a navy blue windbreaker, is always peeping in the dark. The scar on his left brow hides the secret of reincarnation; a headless woman in a white dress lingers in the mirror, humming the seductive "Soul Song"; an extra 100,000 yuan in the bank account hangs like bait on the tip of Tang Weijie's nose, and the crescent scar on his left wrist has long been branded as the "seventh reincarnator". The night he boarded the Styx, Tang Weijie discovered that every scarred passenger on the deck was the carrier of a cursed memory. Some people secretly hide the truth about their brother's death, and some people are haunted by the ghost of the boss they accidentally killed. The brass mirror in his pocket never reflects the present moment - it is the moment when the captain was pushed into the sea in 1993, it is the wailing before the sinking of the Wangchuan Ferry in 1923, and it is countless "selves" on the same boat, repeating the fate of "boarding - death - reincarnation"...
