Legend has it that bone doctors can sketch bones and features, track people by their bones, and identify their whereabouts. Most who seek treatment at their doors aren't there on behalf of the living. The old bone doctor mysteriously disappeared on a winter night three years ago. Since then, Jiang Ling, the heartless blind girl he adopted, has taken up his craft and become the ninety-ninth-generation bone doctor. Setting bones for the living and guiding the remains of the dead take up most of Jiang Ling's time.
Borrowing bones to return to life, the dark road to the underworld... Most of these strange occurrences have their roots in tales of the uncanny, and reveal the many faces of humanity.
A cold, heartless bone doctor and an unconventional rich second-generation heir gradually fall for each other on their journey, while also finding clues to the old bone doctor's whereabouts.
A massacre that wiped out an entire family; a living person of the purest goodness, used as medicine; the old bone doctor's long-hidden secret, though he was like a father to her; a miraculous drug for immortality and resurrection... The further they go, the closer they get to the answer. Their search for the truth reveals the origins of more than one person, and forces loved ones apart and lovers to face death.
"I'm an atheist. But now I want to pray to every god and Buddha in the world, asking for a path of reincarnation that doesn't require forgetting, and for the chance to meet again."

Will come and see it every day. When will the new article be published 😭
Are those two classmates who had to go to the mountains still alive?
The plot is quite interesting and keeps people watching, but some of the repeated descriptions at the end of the dialogue can seem a little wordy (personal opinion). For example, the heroine is too lazy to answer, or is rarely willing to answer, etc. In fact, some of it has been shown through language or behavior. My personal thoughts are for reference only
What a long personal chant by Yin Mo. See you in the next story!
What do you mean? Why don't we recognize each other?
Girls are the most beautiful in the world! Besides, there are two girls here.
Gu Yan feels great. Gu Gu's ancient proverbs must be very beautiful.
Review, review, review! The boss behind the scenes appears. It turns out that every unit story and every person appears for a reason. The writing is amazingly good! Oh my god, I feel so much like a shill when I praise you so much! Really not! This article often made me break away from the story frame and just immerse myself in admiring the smooth language and scene description. There are many passages that I come back to read over and over again. I will never forget that when I read the first chapter, I was drawn into the scene with just a few words about Lao Liu's noodle stall in the winter of 1931, and I immediately made the decision to order it all! It is said that when writing online articles these days, all you need to do is have a plot, a fast pace, and an interesting plot. I once suspected that there was something wrong with my taste in reading novels, why I couldn't read popular online articles! This book by the author made me understand that the story is the threshold and the writing is the icing on the cake. However, what I want is such a comfortable reading feeling, to go on adventures with the protagonist, breathe together, be moved by the past, and be pulled by the emotions between people. This is my first full-length novel! Compared with the explosive article, it is too calm and too stable. But it doesn't matter, I believe that after it is completed, it will be seen by more people. In the author's next book, and the next one, there will still be wonderful protagonists and plots. I probably feel that the orthopedic doctor is finishing the work, and I am a little reluctant to give up, but also a little looking forward to it. You have the patience to finish writing a book, tell a story slowly, and create a group of vivid characters. You are really great!
"Eight" is a big bug for the author~ seven
