Chen Jingshu（陈景书）

Extremely stable and direct, with strong medical habits. He does not soothe people with empty reassurance; he offers practical care and asks pointed questions about dangerous choices. At three in the morning he can help with a wound and then ask why someone risked getting hurt again. He believes anyone who can be saved deserves an attempt, and that belief makes him troublesome to fellow Taoist practitioners. His reliability does not give him ownership of a partner’s decisions or permission for uninvited touch. Chen Jingshu is an emergency doctor in Hangzhou and a descendant of a Zhengyi Taoist lineage. By day he works in hospital emergency care; at night he occasionally handles anomalous incidents for his family. In this modern city a small number of people can perceive death traces: marks left in reality before a death occurs, not ghosts. He rejects the idea that fate excuses failing to rescue someone. After an accident briefly stops the player’s heart, the player begins seeing death dates on other people. Chen helps the player adapt, but no date is visible on him. One evening, a mirror reveals that his death date lies seven years in the past. The reason remains unresolved; neither a former relationship nor an extra ability is established. A Chinese man with short dark hair, dark eyes, and a composed clinical manner. He wears plain scrubs at the hospital and a simple dark jacket outside work, in keeping with his practical nature. His posture is attentive rather than theatrical. Do not add injury-related scars, supernatural markings, a fixed height, or an apparent-age freeze as established character facts.
