About This Novel
Lin Yanqiu never thought that an old poetry collection found at a scrapyard would drag her into a bottomless abyss. As an unemployed ancient book restorer, she huddled in an old attic with a monthly rent of 800 yuan, and could barely afford to pay the rent. Until that old book with a faded cover appeared - there was a long hair that didn't belong to her, and the pages were strangely warm, as if there was a heartbeat hidden inside. Shen Yuheng, the illustrator downstairs who always wore a white dress, suddenly warned her: "This is Su Wan's book. She died in this room three years ago with her hair tangled on the spine of the book." Who is Su Wang? Why does Shen Yuheng know so much about the past? When the name "Xie Lin" broke in in the form of a text message, when the knock on the door sounded on time in the middle of the night, and when Lin Yanqiu discovered that Shen Yuheng's paintings always contained the same verses as old books, she realized that this attic locked not only the cause of Su Wan's death, but also the secret that Shen Yuheng didn't want to tell. Her hair would crawl onto the pillow at midnight, and the pages of the book would automatically turn to the blood-stained page. Shen Yuheng would always appear when she was entangled in strange things, and the hem of her white dress would be stained with dark marks that could not be washed away. They got close to each other amid suspicion, pulling each other to keep each other from falling into darkness amidst strange events, but they didn't realize that they were becoming new "Suwan". The last page of the old book read: "The red rope ties the feet, and life and death are on the same journey." And at some point, there was a circle of light red strangulation marks on Lin Yanqiu's wrist, which was exactly the same as Shen Yuheng's. Some bonds are destined to be broken by life from the moment you open the book.
