Su Wan was ordered to investigate the sudden death of Zhao's bride, and found that the deceased was actually buried alive. When the autopsy was obstructed by the clan, returned lawyer Gu Yunzhou came to help with a special order from the Ministry of Justice. The two discovered that nine brides in the Zhao family had died of illness in the past twenty years, and key witnesses disappeared one after another. When Su Wan found out that Mr. Zhao was suffering from an internal disease and needed virgin blood to survive, she was framed for desecrating the body. Gu Yunzhou skillfully used newspapers and public opinion to put pressure, and Su Wan performed an autopsy to prove herself in public. In the end, the irrefutable evidence overturned the Zhao family and promoted the introduction of regulations to outlaw feudal bad customs.
