I'm a Medical Student, and You Want Me to Be a Corpse Collector?

A medical student’s final anatomy practical turns grotesquely personal when the cadaver assigned to his table is Bai Xiaoyu—his ex-girlfriend. Xiao Yu had always seemed almost too carefully composed: gentle, brilliant, unavailable during the day, unwilling to be photographed, and insistent on nighttime dates, lunar-calendar rules, and an odd supply of 2018-minted coins. Now he must take the lead in dissecting her body while confronting the possibility that every strange condition in their relationship meant something far darker than eccentricity. The premise turns medical-school realism into an occult corpse mystery: clinical anatomy tools sit beside taboos of yin energy, ghosts, talismans, geomancy, demons, and the dead who do not remain properly dead. Rather than fleeing the evidence, the protagonist examines it, follows the clues Xiao Yu left behind, and gradually learns to fight the malign supernatural forces surrounding the living and the deceased. The mood is grisly, tense, and steeped in Chinese folk-occult lore, with a central romance that is tender precisely because death has made it impossible to treat normally. Best for readers who want modern supernatural horror with Daoist cultivation and an emotionally personal mystery.
