I Went to Make a Living in the Divine Dynasty, Only to Find They Really Eat People

In the Great Yong Divine Dynasty, everyone seeks immortality.

I am Xu An.

I transmigrated into the role of a minor coroner at a funeral home in the capital. All I wanted was to scrape together a living, save a little money, stay away from the powerful, and grow old in peace.

Until the day a beautiful woman's skin was hung in front of the Temple of Immortality.

I cut open the courtesan's corpse and found no heart in her chest, only a ginseng root with a baby's face.

It opened its eyes and asked me:

“Coroner Xu, do you want to live forever too?”

Only later did I learn that the Divine Dynasty had enjoyed eight hundred years of peace not because the gods protected it.

It was because someone had been eating people all along.
