Name: The Poor Corpse Driver, Whose Sister at the Public Security Bureau Begs to Become His Disciple
Author: I Hate It When I Start Typing

Synopsis

Chen Mu is a university student majoring in traditional Chinese medicine. His father raised him on a shoestring, so tight that he has to work part-time just to pay his tuition.

While gathering medicinal herbs, he stumbles upon a woman's corpse. After calling the police, he shows off his corpse-driving skills, making the body open its eyes and point out the killer. The cops who mocked him for watching too many movies are scared out of their wits.

He uses corpses as “living maps” and smashes criminals with golden pills of merit. Even a beautiful forensic examiner begs to become his apprentice.

While everyone else is fighting tooth and nail to land a government job, he gets specially recruited by the provincial department straight into a full-section-level post. Even the big shots at Bureau 749 come waving red flags to poach him.

His bounty money keeps rolling in, and his merit points are nearly maxed out!
