The Silent Corpse

There were no such sinister things as ghosts in this world. But once people's hearts grew complicated, ghosts would arise naturally. Those who did not know they were dead and lingered in the world of the living were known in local legends as the lingering dead. They had not fully passed away, yet they were not truly alive, either. And every story began because Yin Ran saw the lingering dead, those beings caught between life and death.
