With nowhere left to turn, unemployed programmer Su Ye takes a night-watch job at a funeral home, where he unexpectedly awakens the power to commune with the dead and ferry their souls! He can hear the dead’s final obsessions, unravel bizarre cases, and guide wronged spirits onward!
But this power is a curse: every soul he ferries costs him a portion of his life force. His hair turns white at an alarming rate, his emotions grow numb, and he could become a walking corpse at any moment!
To win justice for those who died unjustly, he takes on online mobs, exposes workplace corruption, and tears down villains who stole other people’s lives!
Chief medical examiner Lin Xi is his only anchor to his humanity. The cold, tough Qin Hu brings him into the Spirit Suppression Bureau, where they fight side by side with the Twelve Earthly Branches squad!
But he doesn’t know that he is the Chosen Ferryman, and the mastermind, the Relic Seeker, is the previous Ferryman, who was bewitched by a statue of the Netherworld God!
When the statue tries to devour the world’s resentment and restart the world, Su Ye roars:
“I won’t be an emotionless god. I’ll be a person with a heart! With a mortal body, I’ll wield divine authority and uphold justice in the human world for the dead!”
