I Asked You to Retrieve Corpses, Not the Nation's Luck!

“Grandpa said this is the most unlucky trade along the Yellow River. We don’t fish up corpses. We fish up lives.” Jiang Sheng followed in his father’s footsteps and became the newest Yellow River corpse retriever. While others get rich or become war gods from the start, Jiang Sheng fishes a warm, smooth jade imperial seal out of the riverbed.

He assumes it’s an antique dropped by some unlucky soul. But the moment the seal emerges from the water, the winding Yellow River stops flowing for three seconds! Then mysterious groups arrive from all directions: tomb guardians dressed in ancient robes, the bizarrely spoken-of “relevant authorities,” and feng shui families known only from legend... They all say Jiang Sheng has retrieved the “Imperial Dragon Seal that Subdues the Nation,” missing for more than a thousand years.

When the seal appears, the dragon lifts its head. But in mortal hands, the seal is a case of “virtue unworthy of the position,” inviting the backlash of the nation’s destiny and one calamity after another. Some want to steal it; others want him dead. To stay alive and uncover the shocking secret behind the seal, Jiang Sheng, a humble corpse retriever, is forced onto a perilous path rife with the uncanny and entangled with the fate of the nation.
