I Open the Coffins of the Dead, and the City’s Elite Are Panicking

[Urban suspense + communicating with the dead through their belongings + strong female lead and career plot + two brilliant minds in love]

Three days before her wedding, Shen Yanqing’s fiancé dies.

Everyone says she brought about his death.

Her in-laws force her to take responsibility for thirty million yuan in debt. Her biological parents urge her to sell the home she bought before marriage. Even the funeral becomes a trial, where they pressure her to sign papers.

Then, while sorting through the deceased’s belongings, she finds a ring in his pocket engraved with an unfamiliar woman’s name. The next moment, she sees three scenes from his life that he most wanted to hide: a legal wife, a scheme to trick her into guaranteeing a loan, and someone tampering with the brakes.

Shen Yanqing exposes the marriage fraud in public, freezes the loan, and sends her younger brother to the police for destroying evidence. Then she reopens the estate appraisal office her grandmother left behind, “Guizang.”

She can see clues left by the dead in their belongings, but memories cannot serve as direct evidence.

The cold-faced lawyer Tang Jibai helps turn the echoes of death into bank records, files, and evidence admissible in court. She finds the truth; he makes sure the truth comes at a price.

Together they take down powerful families and reclaim identities and property, only to discover that every case points to the same number: 0719.

And the last name on the list is that of her mother, who disappeared twenty-three years ago.
