Description
After the death of the brilliant painter Juli, a professor devastated by the loss of her extraordinary talent transfers her soul into the body of a young girl named Lili. Lili is now an undying girl, a walking corpse animated by Juli’s soul. The professor asks his reclusive neighbor, a young painter named Neal, to teach Lili how to paint. Neal, once a passionate artist who painted little girls as embodiments of fleeting beauty, has lost his own creative drive and become a shut-in. The core of the story follows this unlikely pair as they begin a strange, quiet cohabitation. Lili struggles to understand her own identity—she is told she must learn to paint in order to recover Juli’s lost memories, yet she feels like a separate person. Neal, confronted with Lili’s unnatural and timeless existence, finds his perceptions of art and beauty challenged. Their relationship is tender but eerie, built on mutual need and an unspoken sense of loss. A significant narrative arc takes them to Juli’s abandoned home, where Lili enters Juli’s memories through dreams and glimpses the passionate love and tragedy that drove Juli to paint. The story explores whether a soul can truly inhabit another body, what it means to create art when nothing is permanent, and how people cope with irreplaceable loss. The series concludes on a note of quiet acceptance, with Lili and Neal each finding a new sense of purpose in the liminal space between life and death.
