Summary: The novel follows Deng Yang, a young man who becomes a corpse retriever, a profession steeped in taboo and superstition. In the Yellow River basin, where countless bodies are lost to the waters, corpse retrievers are hired to recover the dead, often navigating treacherous waters and eerie phenomena. Deng Yang learns the trade from an old master, uncovering the unwritten rules of the profession: never retrieve a body after midnight, avoid certain types of corpses, and beware of the river’s wrath. As he delves deeper, he encounters malevolent spirits, cursed corpses, and dark secrets tied to the river’s history. Each retrieval job unravels a new mystery, blending folklore, horror, and human tragedy. The story weaves tales of vengeful ghosts, ancient rituals, and the moral dilemmas faced by those who profit from death, all while Deng Yang grapples with his own fears and the sinister forces lurking in the water.
