What kind of sparks will fly when the ancient, mysterious Xiangxi art of corpse-driving is bound to an irreverent System with a thoroughly modern, online sensibility, in a strange and dazzling modern city?
The real world we know is only the surface. Beneath it lurks an “inner world” made up of folk legends and supernatural tales from across the land. For some reason, this inner world is gradually merging with reality, triggering a string of eerie events that science cannot explain.
Lin Chen, the last heir to Xiangxi’s corpse-driving tradition, poses as a history major but has been bound to an irreverent corpse-driving System with a bizarre style.
Beneath reality, the inner world built from folk legends and supernatural tales is seeping into the human realm, and strange incidents are happening one after another.
The System’s missions are absurd, from giving a makeover to a red-clad senior to exchanging skills for middle-school group calisthenics. The item shop even sells bizarre things like “Zombie Happy Sticks.” Lin Chen complains and slacks off as he goes, accompanied by a cool and aloof fox immortal, a Miaojiang poison-using girl, an amnesiac female corpse from the Republican era, and a tough-as-nails scientific-minded policewoman. In a city where yin and yang intertwine, he goes from a “corpse-driving wage slave” who just wants to coast to a great master who protects his corner of the world.
