Starting From Becoming a Mirror in the Dark

Wei Liang was thirty-four years old, a lighting designer, and the kind of person who reached out to catch things without thinking. The mirror fell. He caught it. That was the end of that life. He woke up as a hand mirror in an abandoned night market on the eastern edge of Qinghe City — with a system, a hunger for light, and no idea what to do next. What he finds is Ye Mingzhu: a second-year high school student who lives alone, works night shifts at a convenience store, and handles the supernatural with the same quiet composure she brings to everything else. She picks him up, takes him home, and together they begin dealing with the darkness that has been slowly accumulating in their neighborhood for years. The Void Fragments they fight are not random. The cold in the alleyways has a source. And the ancient entity moving through reflective surfaces at night is not quite the enemy Wei Liang expected. A former lighting designer who now runs on sunlight and reflection. A girl who has been taking care of things alone for too long. A city full of mirrors waiting for someone to understand what they're for. No regression. No harem. Just careful work, accumulated light, and the slow recovery of a neighborhood that forgot what warmth felt like.
