Shen Qingshang, a forensic doctor, died suddenly while working overtime, but found himself falling into a different space called "Ember Ruins". This is not the underworld, but a place of trial formed by the unfinished obsessions of the dead.
There are seven emotions, including joy, anger, worry, sadness, and fear. Each state hides the unquenched obsession of a dead soul. Only by collecting all seven beads can one return to the human world. Those who lose will be reduced to ashes.
In her thoughts, she faced the night of her mentor's death again. In Jintai, she met three people who were struggling between life and death like her: firefighter Gu Lanzhou, antique dealer Xie Zhifei, and medical student Jiang Yingxue.
They formed a team, supported each other in the trial of life and death, and found a way out of their respective obsessions. But the truth of the Ash Ruins is far more cruel than the trial - the Ash Ruins itself is someone's obsession.
And the man was watching them.
Concept: Everyone has unfinished regrets in their heart. The real relief is not to forget, but to learn to let go after facing it. The Ash Ruins are the ashes of the dead's obsessions and a place where the living reconcile themselves to themselves.
