The Unusual Republican Era

Veteran forensic pathologist Shi Jiucheng was an orphan from childhood. After graduating from college, he benefited from a government welfare program that helped residents of orphanages find work in various departments and offices. He joined the criminal investigation division of the Tianjin Municipal Public Security Bureau, where he performed autopsies as supporting evidence. For twenty years, he dealt with all kinds of corpses and complicated cases. A loner who preferred quiet, he never grew tired of the work. Instead, he immersed himself in it.

One night, while performing what must have been his countless autopsy, his contact lenses became saturated after years of absorbing some mysterious substance in the autopsy lab. They fused with his consciousness, granting him all kinds of strange abilities. But the terrifying power also tore through time and space, carrying him to a parallel world. Here, it was the fourteenth year of the Republic of China, and history had been changed into something both familiar and unfamiliar. The land was still ravaged by years of war, its people still suffering, and warlords still divided the country while foreign powers surrounded it. The difference was that amid this crushing hatred for the nation and its people, the world was also filled with bizarre, mysterious demons and monsters. See how Young Master Jiu navigates this chaotic age of national calamity, fighting to survive and carving out a bright future for this otherworldly China.
