About This Novel

Before his death, my grandfather made me swear that I would take over the most unlucky job in that funeral parlor in the old city - the corpse burner. He left behind three iron rules: 1. Before burning the corpse, one must bow three times and kowtow nine times to express gratitude for the "decentness". 2. When the furnace is perfect, if the corpse "sighs", it is the last obsession and the furnace should not be opened. Third, and the most important one - corpses delivered after midnight must not be burned! I thought it was feudal dross until I broke the third taboo. At midnight, an unclaimed body of an unknown female was delivered. The supervisor urged me to do it, and I violated the rules. The moment the fire was lit, a clear knocking sound came from the incinerator, three times, and three times again, like someone scratching with fingernails. Immediately afterwards, my mobile phone received a screenshot of the real-time monitoring inside the furnace - the female corpse, with her eyes open, was smiling at the camera. The next day, the ashes that were supposed to be put into the urn by me disappeared, leaving only a bloody note: "You are next." In order to survive, I had to go back to my grandfather's old house and dig out the dusty "Secret Records of Chen's Corpse Burning" and found that the first page said: "What we burn is never a corpse."
