    The coin with the red dot had been stuck in my pocket. The day before, I'd been on a date with Xiaoyu until 3 a. M., And after class I was so exhausted I'd fallen asleep, completely forgetting she'd said to "remember to use the coin." It wasn't until I received the breakup text the next day that I realized the enormity of my mistake. For seven whole days, I waited by her phone, hoping she'd calm down. But when I saw her again, the fluorescent light in the dissection room shone on her pale, ashen face. The smell of formaldehyde assaulted my nostrils, and as I placed my hand on her cold chest, I suddenly noticed her left eyelid strangely lifted halfway. "Don't stare blankly, record the state of the abdominal organs," the instructor urged, my fingertips touching her stiff tongue. When the coin, sticky with brown liquid, rolled onto the dissection table, the entire classroom fell into a deathly silence—the crooked red dot on the coin was one we'd drawn with milk tea last Thursday. "This specimen was placed in the pool in 2014." The professor picked up a coin with tweezers and brought it close to the light. "How could a coin from 2018 end up in her mouth?" The files beside the dissection table rustled as they flipped through the pages. The date of death stung my retina: September 18th, seven years ago. I finally remembered the night we first met; her hair always smelled of strange medicine; I remembered her icy hands that never sweated in the winter night; I remembered her saying she worked at the medical school research institute, yet she only ever appeared at night. Now, in her wide-open mouth, grains of sand were falling from deep within her trachea. "Jiang Ning!" My roommate Zhang Qiang burst through the dormitory door as I trembled before the blood-stained coin. "The professor dissected the body's trachea, and it was full of black mud and sandworms! Even more terrifying..." He held up his phone; the autopsy report glowed eerily on the screen: "The deceased was buried alive for ten hours before her death." "When you discover that your beloved girlfriend's body temperature is forever cold, would you choose to continue loving her, or run away in the middle of the night?" This chilling suspense novel begins with a blood-stained coin, still smelling of milk tea. Why did this token of love, which I placed in her palm in 2018, end up in the mouth of a woman who had been laid to rest in 2014? The author dissects this love story between a human and a ghost with the precision of a scalpel: when a forensic student cuts open his girlfriend's trachea, what flows out is not just mud and sandworms, but also a blood-red confession that transcends the boundaries of life and death. I recommend reading it with the lights on, because you never know what you'll touch on the next page...
