The Words of the Departed

Coroner Shen Zhaoming can touch the dead and read their final memories.

Three years ago, the Shen family was wiped out, and her sister died horribly on the executioner's block.

She keeps touching corpses, all to find the real culprit.

Until one day, she sees her own funeral in a dead person's memory.

It happened three years ago.

It turns out she wasn't the one who escaped death.

It turns out she's the one who is “already dead.”
