【Original Eastern fantasy setting · Fictional story】
On the west street of Qingshi Town stood a funeral shop.
It had an apprentice named Lu Wan.
Born with the ability to hear the dead, he could hear the unspoken thoughts of the deceased during the seven days after their passing.
An old escort who had spent forty years on the road clutched half a transport token as he died.
An old night watchman who had stood guard all his life wanted to hear a rooster crow one last time.
Lu Wan saw them off and spoke the words they had left unsaid.
For every soul he sent on its way, he received a condolence gift and took on another burden.
While others cultivated through meditation, he cultivated by seeing people off.
Until one day, he found his own name on the last page of the funeral ledger.

I have always wanted to write a story about farewell and regret, so I came up with "Condolences".
The young man Lu Wan guards the Qingshi Town White House and fulfills the unfulfilled wishes of the deceased souls. A forty-year-old bodyguard has been working hard for half his life, but he dare not knock on his granddaughter's door. This kind of human fetters and timidity are the core of what I want to write.
The condolence rituals in the book convey the souls of the dead and reveal the obsessions in the hearts of the living. The foreshadowing is slowly unfolding, with double updates every day and sufficient manuscripts in stock. Book friends are welcome to read it, and we look forward to sharing other ideas in the comment area.
