I, the Strange Performer

In this world, it’s hard to tell humans from ghosts.

Ghosts can impersonate people and take over their bodies, remaining stable for ages.

People can impersonate ghosts, learning supernatural powers and gaining the ability to change in unpredictable ways.

Lin Yi is human!

He receives a package from his father, who died seven years ago. From that moment on, he is caught up in a storm of events and becomes an uncanny impersonator.

Only then does he see the other side of the world.

Strange people with bizarre mannerisms, patients who inexplicably go mad: perhaps they are no longer themselves, but shadows from a sealed-off history, protagonists from books of ghost stories, or the long-forgotten owners of ruined temples.

His colleague tells him that the only way to survive is to pretend to be one of them.

As long as he acts so convincingly that neither ghosts nor humans can tell what’s real, he can borrow their abilities.

But the more Lin Yi plays his part, the more something feels wrong, because he keeps hearing the same words:

“Lin Yi isn’t human!”
