I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality
Xu Qing woke up to find himself turned into a Zombie.
Zombies do not die; their life is endless, yet they suffer from the lack of a method to evolve and ascend!
Facing a chaotic era where ceremonies and music collapse, and demons and strange creatures emerge endlessly, Xu Qing chooses to remain under the radar and becomes the most inconspicuous Corpse Driver in the shadowy profession of corpse craftsman, earning various rewards by performing rites for the dead each day.
Be it folk arts, innumerable professions, or the nation's destiny and heaven's will, gods, ghosts, and the extraordinary, Xu Qing hides within a shop, mastering them all.
Watching clouds rise and fall, witnessing the dynasties change and old acquaintances fade; with eyes opening and closing, witnessing the vicissitudes of life, thousands upon thousands of years, my form remains unchanged, eventually becoming an eternal name among the immortals!

If I woke up in the body of a zombie, I'd freak the hell out. Then I'd have an existential crisis. I don't get how MC handled it quite calmly. Yes, calm in my definition because I would have flipped in all sorts of ways. MC Xu Qing transmigrates and wakes up inside the body of a zombie. But unlike other zombies (Jiangshi), he is a smart zombie! Why? Because MC's soul is inside it and he's protected by plot armor (probably) and has a golden finger. Does it make him OP? It makes him stronger, certainly. He eventually leaves his initial dilemma and finds a solution: becoming a Corpse Driver (fancy way of saying 'undertaker' I guess). MC's also a demonic beast. Why? Given enough materials, he can evolve into a stronger zombie XD According to the synopsis, MC wants to remain under the radar, but.... his actions don't really put him under the radar lol.
slapstick comedy, the problem is you need grasp of Chinese, jokes and stories ,like green hat, and flower thief. what is a green hat, for example, the story is a wife was sleeping around so she made her husband a big green hat, so she would have sex next to the window looking down the road, seeing the green hat she would dendher lovers out the back door. oh he is a green hat. basically guy is hit by a car, and someone wakes up,as a zombie in another world (he has no idea how his dead body ended up in another world), he is given a system and he takes over the life of the undertaker who turned him into,a,zombie, when he performs last rites he can see the dead persons life and gains abilities, and items like a two faced guy betrayed his brother's, the special power he is rewarded is to grow another face, which he uses to grow a face on the back of his head so he can look behind him. (he dear he betrayed his brothers so he is two faced, so,mc gets a two faced power get the comedy)?
The MC is as dull as a block of wood. No goals, ambitions, connections, feelings or personality. On top of that, the world building is all over the place, and the MC's cheat ability is really random in how it's used. I like the overall concept, but the execution was not well planned.
It's a really fun story, easy to read and engaging minus the occasional translation hiccup. After waking up as a zombie (jiangshi?) in his original body and clothes, MC quickly manages to take over a funeral shop and uses his golden finger to receive skills and rewards from corpses he exorcizes. Later on he decides to pass the scholar exams because scholars don't have to pay taxes, all this while trying to keep a low profile but getting into different adventures and cultivating the zombie path to immortality.
