    The opening of *From the Reflection in the Mirror* shows deliveryman Bai Ren finishing his nighttime order and casually opening a photo. In the photo, a reflection stands in the mirror. The next second, he's dragged into a hellish apartment. The apartment issues blood-written missions; failure to complete them means death. Even crueler, once you move in, people in the real world will slowly forget you—you won't be in photos, you won't be in contacts, as if you never existed. Highlight 1: The rules are clearly written, but survival depends on your own efforts. The supernatural beings here can't be killed; only the supernatural beings can deal with them. Fortunately, each mission leaves a way out, with ridiculously short hints, such as the golden blood-written message: "Don't let the supernatural see you." The rest depends entirely on the protagonist to figure out from within the rules. Correct deduction means life; slow deduction means death. While reading, you can't help but think along with the characters. 2. The protagonist, Bai Ren, is a sharp-tongued and ruthless character. He's not the type to silently endure pressure; the more desperate the situation, the more unforgiving he becomes. He complains even while being beaten, looking disheveled but never backing down. There's also a heavy underlying premise: those who control supernatural beings have no way back; they either die from the resurgence of the supernatural or constantly control new supernatural beings to prolong their lives. The underlying tone is quite tragic, making for a lively read. 3. The pacing is fast. The opening is straightforward, jumping straight into the apartment and the mission, with one bloody scene after another, interspersed with a storyline involving the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs in the real world. The alternation between tension and ambiguity makes it perfect for fragmented reading.
