"The Man Who Recovered Corpses from the Zhuojiang River"
Chen Zhuo, a young man by the Zhuo River, was accepted by the "Old River God" Zhao Laizi as an apprentice to fish out corpses because of his poverty. From then on, he was involved in the mysterious world at the bottom of the river.
A female corpse wrapped in a red rope, an ancient city emerging from the water, a family curse passed down from generation to generation... During his career of retrieving corpses, Chen Zhuo gradually uncovered terrifying mysteries one after another: the red rope on the wrist of the person who threw himself into the river concealed the secret of seduction, his grandfather's madness was related to the ancient corpse at the bottom of the river, and his father's disappearance actually involved the sacrifice contract made a hundred years ago.
The taboos of the old-school corpse collectors collide with the greed of the new-school. Detective Li Rui's rational investigation is intertwined with supernatural phenomena. Chen Zhuo is struggling on the edge of life and death. He must not only fight against the resentful ghosts in the river, but also face the weight of his family's fate. When the dark shadow of the ancient underwater city wakes up, and when the seal of the Suppressing Evil Cauldron loosens, he will finally understand: What the corpse fisher is not fishing for is the corpse, but the unresolved obsession and the debt that should be repaid.
The river wind whimpered and the copper coins fell into the water. Chen Zhuo held the ancestral copper hook and searched for the truth and his own destiny in the depths of the Zhuo River.
