When others prepare the dead for burial, I ask the corpses to speak.
The day I awakened the Underworld, I made the wrongfully dead plaintiffs and the unjustly slain witnesses.
When a tycoon’s “perfect murder” was trending online, I opened the gates of the Underworld with my own hands and sneered:
“Mr. Lin, the law of the living can’t handle this case. My court in the Underworld is now in session.”
Su Qing is an oddity at Ningcheng Funeral Home. She can “hear” the cries of the dead. While preparing the body of a female executive whose death was ruled a “suicide caused by depression,” Su Qing unexpectedly awakens a realm known as the Underworld. Using the Book of Life and Death to relive the deceased’s final thirty seconds, she discovers that the death was actually a “perfect murder” orchestrated by the tycoon Lin Jiannan.
Meanwhile, Lu Chen, captain of the criminal investigation team, keeps crossing paths with Su Qing as he investigates an old case that cost his mentor their life. They discover that all the clues point to the truth behind Su Qing’s parents’ disappearance: they once refused to conduct unethical “live tissue repair” experiments for Lin Jiannan. Su Qing walks between the worlds of the living and the dead as a mortician, while Lu Chen fights the powerful as a law enforcer. Together, in a city where the wealthy wield absolute influence, they bring the villains before the Underworld’s ultimate judgment.
