Breaking Out of the Cocoon [Web Series]

Tan Jingtian, a graduate student specializing in toxicological entomology at the Provincial Insect Research Institute, is accidentally drawn into a bizarre murder case. The victim, a middle school student named Tang Shaopeng, died in a way directly linked to a rare insect: the bullet ant.

To clear his name, Tan Jingtian helps the police solve the case, bringing him into contact with Jin Ling, a young forensic doctor. At first they can’t stand each other, but gradually they learn to work together and understand one another, becoming a bickering yet affectionate pair. They join forces to crack one strange case after another, including the “American Cockroach Case,” the “Microspined Plant Bug Case,” the “Click Beetle Case,” the “Many-Eyed Gray Butterfly Case,” and the “Paederus Beetle Case.”

Meanwhile, the killers behind these cases and their tangled relationships with the victims awaken Tan Jingtian’s desire to investigate the mystery surrounding his own parents’ deaths. He has always suspected that his mother’s death was no ordinary suicide, and his father’s death was just as suspicious. Tan Jingtian sets out to find the truth.

But sometimes the truth arrives with such force that it breaks your heart.
