Forensic Doctor Fan Chen

A stormy night. A grisly murder scene. When forensic pathologist Fan Chen brushes his fingertips against the skin, a tiny hand pounding on a window in a sea of flames flashes before his eyes.

When he was seven, he took the wrong road and failed to save his playmate Xiaoyue. Twenty years later, the serial killer he's pursuing turns out to be the same person who started the fire back then.

Every autopsy tears open his wounds again. Each time he uses his ability to "hear the dead speak," his hands shake a little more, and he loses a little more of his memory. Before falling unconscious, his mentor leaves him one word: "Live."

But Fan Chen doesn't know if he can still call himself alive.

The dead don't lie. But the living must live the parts of life that the dead never got the chance to finish.
