The Corpse-Driving Journey Home: A Hero Returns to His Roots

Lin Ye, an art student at Jishou University, accidentally bonded with a Corpse-Driving System in a dilapidated earth-god temple on a rainy night in western Hunan. From then on, he carried the mission of escorting the remains of anti-Japanese heroes and martyrs who had died far from home back to their hometowns.

From the battlefield of the Xiangxi Campaign at Luomapo in western Hunan to the National Martyrs Cemetery in Tengchong, Yunnan; from Myanmar's Wild Elephant Mountain to Russia's Lake Baikal, and then to an isolated island in the Arctic Circle, Lin Ye traveled the world. Using the corpse-driving arts unlocked by the System, he avoided the living and crossed perilous terrain, breaking through one obstacle after another under the protection of heroic spirits.

Every journey home carried a martyr's longing for their homeland and their family's hope of seeing them again. He witnessed a mother and son reunite after seventy years of waiting and saw clans honor their heroes, bringing more than a hundred martyrs home at last. Over ten years, Lin Ye grew from a naive university student into a "Guardian of Heroes," measuring loyalty with every step and passing on the spirit of the martyrs through his actions.

This is a mission that spans mountains and seas, and a moving ode to honoring heroes and comforting their souls. Amid love for one's homeland and devotion to one's country, it tells the most touching tale of a journey home.
