Take a Breath

Shen Guanlan works in the Department of Life and Registration, registering the life expectancy of monks and checking the last breaths of the dead. His sister Shen Weichen is very sick. Every time on the eighth day of the lunar month, she would hear some sounds that were not of this world. Some people said she was dead, some said she was not born yet, and some people called her name after a long time. In order to save his sister, Shen Guanlan embarked on the path of cultivating immortality, trying to take a breath from her destiny. But when he finally found a way to extend his life, an unexplainable fire broke out in the south of the city. After the fire was out, everyone said it was just an accident. Only Shen Guanlan knows—— Some people have died. Some are not yet born. And it seems that this is not the first time for him to come here.
