Yin Yang Middleman

My name is Su Cheng, and I am the seventeenth generation of the Su family. Asking for rice means sending a message to the dead. Relying on this skill, I worked as an undertaker in a funeral parlor in the south of Chengdu, and lived a poor but stable life. Until I came across a headless female corpse. She dipped the white cloth in blood and wrote, telling me where her head was, but she didn't tell me—the last face she saw before she died was mine. From then on, things began to appear around me that were not of this world: The door of the morgue opened late at night; the handprints on the mirror that did not belong to me; the extra photos of me sleeping in the photo album on my mobile phone. There was also a man in gray wearing a Nuo opera mask. He told me that I was being "written off" by the world. I don't believe it. Until I discovered that my name began to disappear from everyone's memory - including Lin Nan, the detective who investigated cases with me every day. In order to survive, I can only unravel the truth that is tabooed by all people who ask rice: What exactly is the "forgotten existence"?
