Free America, Happy Every Day

“Welcome to Free America, where death isn’t the end. It’s raw material.”

Zhou Songlan transmigrates. In his previous life, he was a doctor who revered life. In this one, he becomes a body collector at the Seattle Medical Examiner’s Office.

Beneath the shadows of a city cloaked in tech billionaires and neon lights lies an invisible line called the “kill line.” Once someone falls below it, the middle class can become homeless overnight and die within three years.

At first, Zhou Songlan thinks it’s just poverty. Then he learns that unclaimed homeless bodies are called “gundams” in industry slang. Then he sees that the pricey “regenerative medicine” face creams are made with stem cells extracted from corpses.

Here, some people keep their youth by “killing” the poor, while others turn human lives into “futures” traded on the dark web.

Faced with an industry built on capital, desire, and blood, Zhou Songlan must make a final choice: close his eyes like everyone else and survive by pretending not to see, or use his scalpel to cut open the festering wound beneath this dazzling facade, even if that means the cold “kill line” will target him too?

**This is not a story about a superhero saving the world. It is a chilling account of how to hold on to the last shred of humanity in a system that devours people.**
