At one thirty-seven in the morning, it was still raining in Jiangcheng.
Chen Mo, who dropped out of college and was running takeout to pay for dialysis for his mother, received an irresistible "night delivery" order on a platform that had been offline for a long time. The delivery fee was ridiculously high, and the delivery address was a residential building that was burned down and blocked three years ago. The only note was: "Don't knock on the door, just put it down and leave."
He walked to the door, but his mother's voice came from the door: "Son, mom is hungry."
After that night, a blue takeout box that could contain ghosts and "deliver" ghosts was strapped to his back. Only then did he understand: Every strange order was a freight payment from the living world to another world; and every time he completed an order, he had to hand over a "proof of living" - body temperature, shadow, memory, and even... The ability to be remembered.
He has no golden fingers, only a programmer's brain that breaks down rules, and the breath of "fearing death but sticking to the bottom line." Between the ghost's rules, the ruthless officialdom, the greedy ghost master and the "big account" that swallows people, he has to sacrifice his life time and time again for an answer:
Why do people who have been completely forgotten by this city deserve to be remembered and go home?
From a building, to a city, and then to the black water that carries dead people to the "opposite side" in boats - he sends other people's "heads" home along the way, but he is gradually hollowed out and becomes a "person without a shadow". But he remembered the words left by his father:
One day, turn this river upside down!

It was a mistake to turn it on in the middle of the night. This description was so immersive that I didn't dare to turn off the light and go to sleep.
