The awakening of the corpse king spanning hundreds of years, the life-and-death game between good and evil
In 2026, archeology professor Chen Qi accidentally fell into an ancient tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The moment he touched a bronze mirror, he was drawn into the vortex of time and space. When he woke up, it was already the twelfth year of the Republic of China, and he became a "king of corpses" awakened from a century-old tomb. The mysterious Tao seed in his body gives him the strange power to control corpse energy and not be afraid of sunlight, but it also attracts the covetousness of evil cultivators from all walks of life.
In Renjia Town, where zombies are rampant, he meets Lin Jiu, a Taoist priest whose mission is to kill demons. Facing Uncle Jiu's mahogany sword and ink line, Chen Qi must struggle to survive between corpse instinct and human conscience. And with the undercurrent of the Xiangxi Corpse Exorcism Conference and the civil strife in Maoshan, a conspiracy spanning a thousand years gradually emerged: that bronze mirror was actually a forbidden weapon that connected the worlds of life and death; the Tao seed in his body was even more involved in the ultimate secret of the ancient corpse immortal way...
Will he become the corpse king who brings trouble to the world, or will he use his corpse to prove the truth and protect the common people?
In this troubled world where demons and monsters are rising, a legend about morality, strength and redemption is unfolding.
