Demons and monsters run rampant across the Great Jing Dynasty. In the gloomy dungeon of the Ghost Suppression Bureau, a “paper bride” corpse that can swallow people whole fixes its gaze on Shen Ye, who has just transmigrated into the body of a low-ranking corpse collector. If he can't determine the cause of death, his superior will drag him off to be sacrificed tomorrow!
At death's door, Shen Ye unexpectedly makes contact with the Underworld and discovers that all eighteen generations of his ancestors are big shots down there! But the Great Jing is rife with wrongful convictions, and his ancestors are bottom of the pile on their year-end KPIs. They're about to be laid off en masse.
“Dear grandson, clear our names and solve cases for us, and you can pick any divine gear from the Underworld!”
So Shen Ye takes out a nether-iron autopsy knife. From extracting livor mortis and analyzing bite marks to Meng Po's truth serum and a life-review video cassette, when the court officials and fiendishly powerful demons think they've covered their tracks, Shen Ye's hard-core forensic skills strip them bare!
When his icy, sword-wielding superior misses with a slash, Shen Ye silently puts on his Underworld spider-silk gloves. “Your Excellency, stand back. I'm going to summon my great-grandfather the Judge to possess me so I can examine the body!”
