Yungang City has been anything but peaceful lately. First, fitness coach Zhang Hao “accidentally” falls to his death, but his body disappears from the morgue. Then a wealthy businessman’s son falls into a coma, surrounded by a strange aura of death. Medical intern Zhou Mei clutches half of a bloodstained matching jade pendant and realizes her ex-boyfriend’s death was no accident. Beneath her white coat, the wrist awakening with resentment bears the long-lost markings of corpse control.
When she risks everything to turn Zhang Hao into a lovesick puppet without a mind of its own, handsome police officer Shen Yi, known as the “Sun of the Force,” sets his sights on her. Born with a pure Yang constitution and able to dispel evil spirits, this star cop not only discovers her secret as she controls the puppet late at night, but also learns that the ancestral copper whistle he carries, containing pure Yang copper, can suppress the puppet’s ferocity.
On one side is the sinister scheme of the Yin Lotus Cult, which uses lovers’ resentment to create evil corpses. On the other are the fragments of the lovesick puppet’s consciousness, struggling between resentment and Yang energy. Zhou Mei is forced to tread the line between good and evil in the art of corpse control. As Shen Yi watches the girl with the high ponytail, whose eye twitches when she’s angry, his wariness gradually gives way to trust. When she loses control, he is even willing to use his own Yang energy to shield her. “Zhou Mei, I’ll keep your puppet in check. I’ll see this case through with you.”
As the Corpse Fiend King from a century ago nears awakening, and corpse-control arts collide with Yang energy to spark the unexpected, can Zhou Mei and Shen Yi join forces to carve out a path to survival through a maze of bizarre cases, where the living and the dead belong to different worlds?
