Gu Changan was just an undertaker at Jiangcheng Funeral Home. He had the ability to touch the deceased and see their last day.
He originally thought that what he was doing was just sorting out the remains of the deceased and helping them spend their last days in life. But one old case after another made him discover that the souls who could not leave were not all born of resentment. Someone is secretly cutting off the evil path, tampering with the cause of death, erasing the name, and turning the deceased into a ghost wandering the world.
From old cases on campus to paper men borrowing lives, from missing buses to forgotten dead, Gu Changan is step by step involved in the cracks between the world of humans and ghosts. He gradually came to understand that the so-called Hundred Ghosts Night Parade was not a natural disaster, but a man-made collapse of the order of death.
And what the people behind the scenes want is not just to control ghosts.
They want to rewrite death.
Let those who should go stay, let those who should be forgotten disappear, let the living borrow the dead to extend their lives, and let names become a cage.
In the end, what Gu Changan has to face is not a simple ghost, but a living person's greed for immortality, power, forgetfulness and eternity. What is truly terrifying is never the return of the dead, but the fact that someone refuses to let death maintain its original order.
Reader comments
The setting is very innovative. The undertaker in the funeral home can recall the last day of the deceased by touching him, blending supernatural suspense and professionalism in a natural and restrained way. In the opening chapter, Meng Yu's reversal of an old campus case is not blunt, and it does not deliberately pile up horror scenes. Instead, it shows tenderness towards the deceased. The calm and restrained character of the protagonist Gu Changan is also very lovable. The pace is steady and suitable for readers who like supernatural unit dramas.
