Main plot: My name is Shen Mu, and I am a coroner in the city. From the moment I took over the first strange corpse, my world changed. I found that I could see the last scenes of the deceased before death and hear their last words and unwilling screams during the autopsy. This is not a golden finger, but a kind of "synesthesia" that was passively opened after dealing with death and resentment countless times. Using this ability, I have repeatedly solved strange cases, from a water ghost asking for his life to a painted-skinned bride, from a pen fairy murdering someone to a ghostly baby in a resentful house. Behind every corpse, there is an unknown terrifying truth and a soul that needs to be saved. However, as I solved more and more cases, I discovered that behind these seemingly independent supernatural events, there was an invisible black hand that was controlling the dark side of the city, trying to turn the entire city into a dead city where ghosts roamed at night. My only ally is the mysterious female Chinese medicine doctor Su Qingtan. She understands yin and yang, knows ghosts and gods, can heal people alive, and can also suppress ghosts and evil spirits. One of us is in the light and the other is in the dark, one speaks for the dead, and the other makes peace for the living, and work together to fight against the endless terror hidden in this city and the ultimate mastermind behind it.
