Overview
Huang Yan, a terminally ill crematorium worker, accidentally mixed up two sets of ashes during her work. When she confessed the truth, neither family wanted to swap them back. Only Yao Xue, the daughter of one of the deceased, believed Huang Yan. The two embarked on a wild and absurd journey to return the ashes, where they came to understand life anew and chose to live bravely in the face of death.
