During the Embalming, I Saw the Dead Man's Final Seven Seconds

Gu Mingsheng, an embalmer, died once and came back with a new ability: touching a corpse let him see the dead person's final seven seconds.

He discovered that behind the deaths ruled accidental lay an ancient folk world turned upside down.

Someone was using paper effigies to take another's place in death, soul-calling to claim lives, and ghost weddings as sacrifices.

And his own death three years ago was connected to that world, too.
