Sui Emperor Yang Guang was sentenced to ten thousand years in prison.
Everyone cursed him as the most tyrannical ruler in history, accusing him of murdering his father and brother and living a life of debauchery.
But nobody knew the truth:
Yang Jian was not killed by him at all.
To clear his name after a thousand years of injustice, he gave up serving his sentence in prison and applied to become a ghost officer in the underworld.
Dressed in a black suit and wielding a short soul blade, he walks the human world of the 21st century, collecting souls as atonement for his crimes.
At his side are:
Yuwen Chengdu, an unrivaled fighter and devoted fanboy who calls him “Big Brother” at every turn;
Yang Yuhuan, serving a five-thousand-year sentence, seemingly carefree but aching for affection, and longing only to find true love.
The trio travel between the worlds of the living and the dead, gathering souls, solving cases, and guiding spirits onward, witnessing all the good and evil of humanity.
But they have no idea that a plot to overturn the Three Realms has long been underway.
Qin Shi Huang, the emperor of a thousand ages, is hiding among humanity, secretly gathering dragon energy,
planning to revive the terracotta warrior spirits and seize control of the order between Yin and Yang.
And Yang Guang’s ten-thousand-year sentence
is not merely a punishment, but also the beginning of an ultimate war to
clear his name, defy Heaven, and slay the tyrant.
