Not Only Was This Coroner Short-Lived, He Was Also Crazy.

Xie Qingci traveled through the Wei Dynasty and became a humble coroner suffering from tuberculosis and whose life was hanging by a thread. During the day, he was submissive in the morgue, enduring insults from powerful people for scraps of silver. At night, he lit rhinoceros horn incense, transformed into a red-robed judge, and sat in the Senluo Hall of the Underworld. Facing the soul of the powerful man who had just died during the day, he coughed blood and opened the book of life and death, showing a kind smile: "During the day, I have to kneel down when I see you. It is the law of the Wei Dynasty that crushes people to death; but now it is night... When you get downstairs, you have to kneel down and recite the corruption account book for me!"
