Mirror Hunter

An ancient bronze mirror emerges from the earth, setting off a chain of cause and effect spanning a thousand years.

Shen Yan, an investigator in the Great Jing, bears the burden of his sect's massacre. While pursuing evidence against Grand Tutor Gu Yanzhang, he encounters one bizarre case after another, all beyond the reach of ancient investigative methods. When the mirror suddenly shines, it connects him to Wen Zhiyu, a researcher a thousand years in the future who specializes in physical evidence and forensic toxicology.

One is well-versed in interrogation and deception; the other excels at forensic analysis. They exchange clues through the mirror, solving ancient cases with modern science and dissecting present-day crimes through the lens of ancient methods.

They believe heaven has lent them a hand in pursuing the culprit, unaware that the moment the bronze mirror lit up, a thousand-year-old hunting net began to close around them. Back then, Gu Yanzhang uncovered the secret plot behind the mirror's creation and left instructions for his descendants to seize an opportunity to drive a wedge between the two, lure them into violating the laws of time and space, and sever the connection through the mirror.

Su Yanqiu, the mentor Wen Zhiyu respects, is the hunter pulling the strings in this generation. He pretends to offer guidance, altering evidence and fabricating clues to sow suspicion and trap the investigators in his scheme.

Shen Yan battles false accusations at court, while Wen Zhiyu seeks the truth amid the ruins of trust. Joining forces, the two brilliant minds turn the tables and expose a conspiracy of murder that has endured for a thousand years. With the mirror as their link and their crimes stretching through time, hunter and prey will finally face off over the truth.
