The Great Wei Bureau for Suppressing the Strange

Shen Yan transmigrates into the body of a corpse-sewing coroner in the Demon Suppression Bureau. From the start, he has to sew up the corpse of a woman in a red wedding dress in the morgue.

He thought it was just an ordinary job for the yin clerks, but then discovered that the needle and thread in his hands could sew shut the lingering obsessions of the dead, and even reveal the final moments of their lives from their corpses.

A bride in a red wedding dress, a painted-skin theater troupe, a river god's wedding, paper figures carrying a coffin, a pit of living terracotta warriors, a fox immortal borrowing someone's life... Behind each eerie case lies the same book, the Suppressed Strange Record of the Nation, which the imperial court burned.

Shen Yan only wants to keep his head down and earn a living at the Demon Suppression Bureau. But the more corpses he sews, the more he realizes:

The Great Wei dynasty has long since ceased to be ruled by the living.
