The Secret Chronicles of the Dali Temple

[Ensemble Cast] [Ancient-Era Mystery] [Plot-Driven] [Power Couple]

A human finger turns up in a bamboo steamer, and a headless corpse is found wrapped in a bride's coffin.

In public, Pei Zhao, the Grand Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, is a dashing, charming "jade-faced fox." In private, he is a cunning political hunter, smiling as he hides his blade.

During the Jinghe era, strange cases plague the capital region, while undercurrents roil through the court. Countless bizarre murders lie hidden beneath the bustle of a prosperous age.

Under Pei Zhao's leadership, the Court of Judicial Review investigates and solves baffling cases alongside its colleagues. Xie Huaizhou moves through the shadows, wielding copper coins and yellow talismans as his signature hidden weapons as he traverses dangerous crime scenes. Zheng Ci, Zheng Kuo, Chen Nanfeng, and Ming Hui each fulfill their roles, working together as they travel throughout the capital region to uncover the truth.

Murder after seemingly unrelated murder turns out to be intricately connected, concealing secrets buried for years. A dangerous building hides a killer; peril engulfs the bell tower. The shadows seethe with unrest, and every step leads into a deadly trap.

Together, they investigate the capital region's strange mysteries and expose the unfathomable depths of human nature. Amid a vast fog of uncertainty, they uphold the law and protect justice in the human world, navigating one sinister plot after another.
