Synopsis:

On Lin Xiaoman's first day as a night-shift embalmer at a funeral home, her phone automatically downloads the “Livestream of the Departed” app. At two in the morning, the System alerts her that Corpse ID-3702, one of the bodies she follows, is livestreaming.

The director calls it an accident, but the old cremator says the face reflected in the mirrors wasn't human. Now the opera ticket the dead woman gave her is stuck to the window of her home. The date on the ticket is three days from now, and a new account, “Ghost Opera Troupe - Lin Xiaoman,” has appeared in her livestream followers…
