Synopsis

Lin Xiaoxi is a special-effects actor who specializes in playing corpses. After he appears in a crime drama, a series of murders rocks the city. The killer perfectly recreates every manner of death he has portrayed, watching him from the shadows and leaving behind eerie notes, treating him as their personal "death template." On one side is an actor who fakes death; on the other, an obsessive killer consumed by murder. A deadly hunt that blurs the line between fiction and reality begins.

If It Doesn't Catch On, I'll Keep Promoting It. This Great Story Deserves Better!

Looking for stories like "Zhou Tiancheng and His Five Colorful Girlfriends". Carefully crafted by the author and close to real life, it lays bare the ugliness and greed of human nature and reflects the chaos of society.

I'm a Veteran Reader Looking for Smart Characters, Solid Logic, and Mature Writing 🙏

I'm getting more and more fed up with brainless stories that make no sense. Give us characters with some brains! I'll read any genre as long as it makes sense. 🙏

I’m Out of Books... Don’t Recommend The Long Road to the Ends of the Earth, I’ve Read It

So many books just don't interest me anymore. I've already browsed most of the popular ones. Either the cookie-cutter blurbs put me off, or the blurb sounds good but then, a little way in, some uninteresting plot point makes me give up. Even the books I've liked for ages have ended. I'm seriously out of books to read.
