In the winter of the 23rd year of Taiping, the late Emperor Dayin died violently. On the night of the funeral, a withered hand stretched out from the dragon coffin - the late emperor was "back".
Zhao Rucheng, the first auxiliary state abbot, suppressed the matter with the words "sacred bow violates the peace" and kept the funeral secret, allowing the pregnant queen (his daughter) to prepare for the "dragon seed" to succeed to the throne. Outside the imperial city, the starving corpses were hastily buried, only to emerge from the ground a few days later and knock on the city gates at night; the "meat" donated by the official warehouse actually came from mass graves. The zombie plague took Yujing as its starting point and traveled south along the canal transport. Half of the country fell into the nightmare of "resurrection of the dead" one after another.
Xiao Jue, the eldest son of Prince Jing, was ordered to go to Beijing to attend the funeral, but was immediately framed for "regicide with corpse poison". Carrying the crime of regicide, he escaped from Yujing, and along the way he encountered the true face of this disaster - plague, famine, refugees, and the court pretending to be dead. To make matters worse, he discovered that he would not change after being bitten by a corpse: he was a "living dead man."
