[Slow burn, ensemble cast, not a wish-fulfillment story]
It took me just one afternoon to go from being a police officer to becoming a criminal. I once thought my life would turn into stagnant water. But it seems the story wasn’t as simple as I imagined. A strange man came to find me, saying he was willing to offer me a job... After that, there were Gu arts that could kill without a trace, corpse-raising techniques of unspeakable cruelty, and elixirs that could turn people into monsters... Countless demons and ghosts barged into my life.
People know how terrifying ghosts are, while ghosts know how poisonous human hearts can be. Sometimes, being dead seems more like a pipe dream than being alive...
