After being reborn, Lu Li discovered that he had become a ghost. Not a vengeful spirit or phantom, but a literal man-eating ghost.
As a doctor in his previous life, Lu Li couldn't bring himself to prey on the living.
And so, a hospital called Luyun was established.
Everyone knew that Tokyo had a large, highly renowned hospital. Its director, Kashima Li, was famed for saving lives and healing the sick. He had treated countless patients, and the orphans he had helped regarded him as a father.
Yet behind the director's public image was a ghost who fed on corpses.
An abandoned baby born in a toilet, a pregnant woman turned into a ghost in Asakusa, an underground auction, a child ghost raised by humans to be used as medicine... Stories between humans and ghosts played out one after another.

"Don't get greedy. This rare blood is worth as much as a Hashira."
"Tsk, you're really no fun. We're the same kind, after all." Douma tapped his fan against his palm, as if suddenly realizing something. "Oh, I see. Not Raskolnikov, but the Messiah?"
"Let her go? I suppose that could be arranged~"

"Get out of the way! Do you know he's a demon? If you don't kill him, he'll eat you sooner or later!"
"No." The child rejected him with a disdainful smile. "My human parents abandoned me, but the demon was willing to become our father. He gave us books to read and clothes to wear, and we get three square meals a day. All we have to do is give him a little blood. I may not become a demon, but I've already decided to offer my corpse to Father after I die!"
"I'll have to trouble you again, Ze." Lu Li sighed softly and sank his fangs into the wrist the boy held out to him.
The protagonist is a powerful figure who is exceptionally good at disguising himself, with a secret identity plotline. Because of his previous life, he's a hypocrite when it comes to faith. On the surface, he's elegant and gentle, but deep down he's actually cold and indifferent. However, he's fiercely protective of those close to him.
His relationship with the Demon Slayer Corps is neither close nor distant. Many members consider him an extremely mysterious person.
Theme: Human nature is complex.
