At the end of the moon, when the returning tide enters the city, the dead can return to the human world for a night and answer three questions from the living.
Everyone believes that the dead cannot lie.
The ferryman Xie Zhaoxue was invited to host a three-question meeting, but the deceased who returned publicly identified him as the murderer. When murderous intent suddenly arose in the hall, a man who was supposed to have been dead for three years opened his eyes from the coffin and blocked the first knife for him.
His name is Lou Jingdu, a former general of the Lou family in the north. He was personally identified as a traitor who killed his father by his father's deceased soul. He has already been written into the family register and has become a living widow who is not recognized by the world.
What's even more frightening is that everyone who has seen him will slowly forget him.
Only Xie Zhaoxue remembered.
In order to find out the truth about "dead men lying", Xie Zhaoxue and Lou Jingdu formed a bond: as long as Xie Zhaoxue still remembers him, Lou Jingdu will not be swallowed by the returning tide.
A man crossing the dead and a widow, from the paper wedding bureau in Jinling to the unknown ferry in the north, from the testimonies of the ancestors of the aristocratic families to the old case of the return of hundreds of ghosts to the capital, and finally discovered that the so-called three-question return trend of justice has long become a knife used by the powerful to control innocence, marriage contracts, genealogy, and life and death.
The whole world has forgotten you, and I will write your name over and over again.

Purpose: Innocence should not be written by the powerful, nor should a person's name be erased by birth, life and death, or the old system.
