Li Qi, the royal coroner of the imperial capital, was meticulous in his death. He even wrote the autopsy report himself.
But what he didn't expect was that he died in such a "standard" manner but failed to get off work smoothly. When he woke up, he found that his soul was stuck in the human world, and his real body was missing. What's worse is that according to the Imperial Identity Act: a dead person without a body is not even qualified to be a "dead".
In order to regain his "right to use the body", Li Qi is forced to team up with Tu Nanzhi, a female liar with absurd behavior and mysterious identity, and a magic crystal ball who talks too much. They infiltrated the black market of corpses, sneaked into the secret altar of the palace, and investigated the case of missing souls. The results became more and more bizarre: his body was being auctioned as a "holy body", and the empire's top officials were secretly planning a "resurrection plan for the dead."
Do you think this is a revenge story? Wrong.
This is an outrageous and chaotic storm in which the dead find corpses, the living communicate with souls, liars deceive the government, gods go on vacation, souls go to the wrong door, and the emperor relies on live broadcasts to stay alive.
When the line between "alive" and "dead" is no longer clear, a coroner who is supposed to be off duty has no choice but to roll up his sleeves and go back to work - investigating his own murder case.
