In an old apartment building that was only rented to single women, four "accidental deaths" occurred in five years - falling, drowning, and fire. The police classified all of them as suicides.
The night that 28-year-old former forensic doctor Lin Zhao moved into Room 302, another person fell upstairs. There was white putty ash embedded in the nails of the deceased that should not appear on the third floor, but the police turned a blind eye. She looked through the files and found out: the last woman who lived in 302 fell to her death three years ago, and the last one died in a fire - that was her mother, and official records showed that she died in 1996.
The Chinese teacher in 301 next door said, "More than four people have died in this building." The psychology graduate student in 403 across the door said, "Aunt Fang's throat was cut" while nibbling spicy sticks. A reporter who claimed to have been investigating for two years sent a photo from 20 years ago - her mother and the landlord Aunt Fang were standing in the same row, with identical red strings tied to their wrists.
Sneaking into 401 late at night, the four walls were covered with the last words of the deceased; the ledger in the underground darkroom listed thirty names "to be processed". All clues point to Shen Henian, the owner of a local "marriage consulting company". The "Women's Mutual Aid Association" he ran twenty years ago is an underground network that specializes in screening, domesticating, and dealing with "unqualified" women.
Her mother did not die after being "processed" - she is still imprisoned in the Shen family. And there is a deeper secret buried under the dead green plant on the windowsill of 302: Lin Zhao's biological father is Shen Henian's son Shen Fang.
Every death in this building pries open the same door for her——
The truth she is pursuing is herself.

I originally clicked on it to kill time, but ended up staying up until the early hours of the morning. The author is so good at grasping emotions. The old small building is not only a shelter for the heroine, but also a turning point for reconciliation with the past. The plot is relaxed and moderate, combining fast and slow, and there is a lot of tenderness hidden in the ordinary daily life. It does not sell anxiety, does not forcefully elevate its ideas, and uses the simplest words to talk about female growth. Many scenes touch on reality and are easy to empathize with. There are no bloody misunderstandings or female rivalry scenes. The overall atmosphere is quiet and healing, and it is worth reading slowly and carefully.
★★★★★A great book! I was really amazed by "Her Building". The setting of the old residential building is novel and immersive, and the atmosphere is immediately full. It does not rely on scary scenes to scare people, but focuses on psychological suspense. It pays great attention to the details. The seemingly irrelevant things in the early stage are all connected together to form the complete truth.
