Read for Trans Rights Readathon 2024! I definitely enjoyed this strange and thought-provoking queer, Asian novella.

Interesting and unique, story within a story type of a narration, a mix of both scifi (bio-cyberpunk) and fantasy, inspired by Chinese history and myths. Mostly talks about life and death, handling the pain, trauma, politics, and surveillance. Also very queer and trans.
