Jiang Zhaoye has a secret.
She could hear the words that the deceased wanted to say the most but had no time to say before they died.
Some people are thinking about their personal money, some are thinking about the meat on the stove, and some people died on their wedding day, leaving only one sentence——
"My groom died three years ago."
As a result, Jiang Zhaoye, a female widower who had just been in Beijing for three days and had only two copper coins left, was involved in an increasingly outrageous case.
The groom, who had been buried three years ago, was now standing in front of her alive.
And in his grave lies another person who is almost exactly like him.
What's even weirder is that the body has only been dead for seven days.
From the case of the sedan chair bride to the faceless corpse, fake identity, and the list of the dead, Jiang Zhaoye gradually discovered that there are some "living people" in the capital who may have died once a long time ago.
Fortunately, she also has Pei Yanzhou, a venomous young minister from Dali Temple, Lu Chen, who is fierce but afraid of ghosts, and Su Yuniang, a news dealer who talks about money.
The dead are responsible for leaving clues, and they are responsible for investigating the capital.
Until Jiang Zhaoye saw his name on a dead list that had been sealed for seven years.

The subject matter is quite attractive at first, but it becomes too confusing later on. This is the rhythm of writing a novel based on a case.
