Forensic doctor Shen Yan encounters an unusual and unknown female corpse in the autopsy room on a rainy night, and discovers that it is Su Wan, a young woman who disappeared seven years ago. The corpse carries traces of weird folk customs such as "soul-soaking willow" and "spiritual locking rope". There is neither rigor mortis nor decay. It can even transmit "distress signals" through subtle movements. As the autopsy progressed, Shen Yan discovered that Su Wan's death was related to the sorcery rituals in the willow forest on the outskirts of the city, and that there were many similar "living corpse cases" involved behind it. He was forced to combine forensic autopsy with folk metaphysics to fight against the backlash of grievances in the corpse while tracking down the mysterious force that controlled the sorcery. The "glowing willow leaves" mentioned when Su Wan disappeared seven years ago turned out to be the key clue to cracking the whole conspiracy - when the cold scalpel meets the soul locked by the sorcery, behind the truth is a "soul nourishing" plan that is more terrifying than death.
