Zhenhe

The Yellow River is rolling, swallowing not only the sand, but also countless secrets and dead souls. Chen Yuan was born into a family of corpse collectors, but he devoted himself to escaping his fate and became a forensic doctor in the city. Until a river corpse engraved with ancient symbols dragged him back to the whirlpool of fate. He is forced to pick up the ancestral corpse fishing rope and step into a strange world where modern technology and ancient taboos intertwine. The whispers of dead souls coming from the mobile phone, the bloody curse triggered by the live broadcast of Internet celebrities, the thousand-year-old jade corpse suppressed under the sunken ship... Under the Yellow River, there is far more than what the world has seen. A curse that lasted for thousands of years awakened in his blood: the male members of the family have been collecting corpses for generations, guarding the river until their death. As mysterious cases such as "Nine Corpses Welcoming Guests" and "Dragon Gate Opening" occurred one after another, Chen Yang discovered that there was a folded space called "Underwater Kyushu" hidden at the bottom of the Yellow River, where ancient battlefields, annihilated ancient cities, and the undead emperors who tried to reverse Yin and Yang were sleeping. He formed an alliance with official investigator Su Cen and Zhang Jiuyue, a descendant of the Mountain Relocation, and grew from a passive guardian to a game-breaker in search of the truth. When the final Nether Emperor Shadow awakens and intends to overturn the world's water veins, Chen Yuan stands at the crossroads of cause and effect. Is it to completely end the blood curse, or to inherit the destiny and guard the river alone? He made the third choice - to rewrite the contract and turn the guardian of one man into a watchman for all living beings. This is the epic of a river, and also a story of breaking free from fate and reopening the road to peace for thousands of dead souls and living people.
