A Romantic Night with the Cool, Elegant Beauty

The year his father died, He Bing began having the same dream over and over.

In the dream, he sits helplessly on the sofa in his home. The front door is open, and a woman in white stands in the pitch-black hallway outside.

After that, the woman moves one step closer each day. The hallway is twelve tiles long. When she reaches He Bing, it will be the day he dies.

He Bing tries everything. He changes where he sleeps, or even stops sleeping altogether, but the woman keeps walking. She keeps getting closer.

Then He Bing discovers something.

Whenever he encounters something else that could take his life,

this female ghost intervenes. She kills those things, and each time she does, she retreats a few steps.

She will not let anything else steal her prey.

But sooner or later, she will still reach He Bing.

So He Bing begins seeking out mysterious places of his own accord, venturing into danger and deliberately putting his life on the line.
