You Were Supposed to Play a Corpse, Who Told You to Get Up and Solve the Case?

Chen Yu wakes up to find he has transmigrated into the role of a “corpse actor” on a hit crime-solving variety show, and has been bound to the [Master Detective System]. He assumes he just has to play along, but the System immediately issues a mission: escape the locked room and solve the cold case!

But when he finally escapes, he discovers that the “crime scene” he’s in is the site of a real murder, and the “victim” he’s playing is none other than Luo Xiangdong, a wealthy man who died mysteriously eleven years ago! Even more absurdly, viewers across the country are watching him “come back from the dead” and solve the case live...

With the production crew falling apart, the audience going wild, and the real killer watching from the shadows, Chen Yu can only grit his teeth and press on:

- Touch a floor tile to trigger a flashback, and witness the victim’s despair as he chewed on moss to stave off hunger;

- Stare at a photo to read its memories, and discover the victim’s unhealthy obsession with his wife;

- Shout, “I know how to get out,” and turn a variety show into a paranormal livestream!

Netizens: “We told you to play a corpse, not come back to life and solve the case on the spot!”

Director: “Holy crap! The ratings are through the roof... Quick! Give him a raise!”

Killer: “Is this just part of the show, or did a dead man really just start talking?!”
