I am Jin Shui, a corpse fisher at Sanjiangkou. I guard the seven-story black tower on the riverside, abide by the iron law of "three no fishing" handed down from my ancestors, and have been floating on a lonely boat for ten years.
Ten years ago, my father was buried at the bottom of the river due to the rule of "save life first, fish him to death later". I took over the ancestral jujube tree hook for catching corpses, and while trying to earn a living, I searched for my father's whereabouts, not daring to cross the red line of taboos.

I led the corpse-recovering team to go through undercurrents, fight bandits, plug up pipes, and search for ancient springs. I recovered corpses from the river alone and grew up to be a riverkeeper who protects the people of a county.
The four major families changed their lives for good, and the villagers united as one. They built strong river embankments with one hand and survived the disaster, turning the barren Sanjiangkou into the peaceful paradise that everyone yearned for.
It was not until the end that he understood that the "Jiangzang treasure" mentioned by the old Taoist priest was never an ancient treasure of gold and silver, but...
