The protagonist of this book, Zhou Ze, is an emergency room doctor who, after treating a peculiar old man, gets injured by the patient's grasp on his wrist. One night, as he's driving back to the orphanage after work, he collides with a truck that runs a red light and dies. Even after death, he remains conscious, aware of everything happening around him but unable to control his body, and is subsequently cremated. In Hell, he manages to escape by exploiting "onychomycosis" and takes refuge in the body of a recently deceased bookstore owner. Following this, a series of vignettes revolving around the protagonist unfold, showcasing the myriad facets of human life to the reader.
