There is a lamp in the world, and there are shadows under the lamp. In the shadows there are those who have lingering obsessions, which are called broken lamps. It is said that after a person dies, the soul should go where it should go, and leave what should not be left behind. But there are always some people in the world who are too unwilling to die or live too unwillingly. They don't even take a clean breath when they die, so they turn into a broken lamp, floating between yin and yang, and are neither living nor dead. There are only a few people in the world who can see the broken lantern, and Shen Du is one of them. At first he thought it was a gift, then he thought it was a curse, and then he thought - it didn't matter, he couldn't change it anyway.
Purpose: Use the broken lamp as a guide to write about life and death obsessions and unfinished business in the world.
