Other delivery drivers work for money. When Song Qingyan makes deliveries, sometimes people pay with their lives.
After graduating from a junior college, he is determined to stay in the big city. By day, he delivers food on his electric scooter; at night, he has a job he can't let anyone know about: bone collector. Put simply, he cleans up after people who died in unusual circumstances. The pay is generous, but the work takes some nerve.
He thought it was just physical labor, something he could do with his eyes closed, lifting and carrying bodies. Then, while handling the bones of an elderly homeless man, a letter seeking his family fell from a pair of worn-out socks. It led him to the man's daughter, who had been separated from him for twenty years. Only then did Song Qingyan realize that what he carried was never just cold remains, but one burning, unfinished life after another.
From then on, his world took a strange turn:
The bones of an elite office worker who fell to his death from a high-rise still bear the cries of someone driven to desperation;
The unclaimed corpse of a woman at the funeral home bears strange patches beneath her skin, pointing to a horrifying secret spanning decades;
And in the belly of that young woman's corpse, a faint but tenacious consciousness weeps and begs him to uncover a truth that must not be buried...
That day, he meets Shen Qingwu, a beautiful, icy medical student who works part-time at the funeral home. She grabs him, her gaze as sharp as a scalpel:
“These old glasses let you ‘see’ things other people can't, don't they?”
Well, so much for keeping his secret identity hidden.
When street smarts meet the cold logic of forensic medicine, the two team up to pry open the darkest cracks in the city. They are not just tending to what remains after death, but also dealing with the greed, anger, obsession, resentment, and love left unfinished in people's hearts.
“Hello. Please accept my condolences. Would you like... professional bone-collection services?”
Very very beautiful!
