Night Shift at the Funeral Home: The Eighth Body Is Me

Gu Qing works the night shift at a funeral home for eighty yuan a night. There are eight bodies listed in the register, but she counts only seven. The name on the eighth line is her own, and the cause of death is blank. That night, she dies for the first time. When she opens her eyes again, the clock on the wall still reads one in the morning. From that day on, she becomes the most uncanny person on the team. She can tell you which doors must stay shut, which questions must go unanswered, and which corners hide traps. Her teammates say she was born with a gift for communicating with spirits, and trust her to watch their backs. No one knows that every life she has left is one she has given up for them. And she can't tell them. Every time she starts over, her life grows a little thinner. When it runs out, she'll really end up on that eighth line. (No romance, ensemble cast, seeing each person through their final journey.)
