Shen Yunheng, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's household, was framed in her previous life by her stepmother and half-sister. Branded a mother-killer, she was burned alive in the ancestral hall.
Reborn overnight, she returned to the eve of her coming-of-age ceremony.
This time, she discovered a secret in her hands: if she touched someone who had just died, she could see everything that happened in the final three sticks of incense before their death.
She held her mother's cold hand. In the visions, the real culprit was smiling at her.
Her stepmother thought she was easy to manipulate, her half-sister stole her betrothed, and the whole household waited to laugh at the legitimate daughter.
But they didn't know that the one thing Shen Yunheng feared least now was the dead.
Mother, don't leave just yet.
Three sticks of incense are enough for me to clear your name.
One sealed murder case after another unfolded before her eyes, and she held the truth behind each wrongful death in her hands.
Only when Lu Linyuan, the capital's coldest prison official, came knocking did people understand:
The most terrifying person in this world isn't the one holding a knife, but the one who **can see the truth**.
