After moving when I was nine years old, I forgot all my memories of Qingping Town. It wasn't until my old classmates met one after another in strange encounters and the faces in the photos disappeared for no apparent reason that I discovered that on that night sixteen years ago, my best friend and I had exchanged souls in an evil ritual. Now he is trapped in the stone wall, and I am living in his life.

This is a suspenseful story about memory, identity and redemption. While searching for a forgotten name, the protagonist discovers that his life is actually a stand-in for someone else. The weirdness of folklore and the plainness of modern life are intertwined, layer by layer, peeling back the truth about the life change sixteen years ago. The writing is restrained and powerful, and the emotions slowly penetrate in the suspense until the final integration and symbiosis, which makes people cry. Not a simple supernatural being, but a profound allegory about "being remembered".
