In Qingyi Town, surrounded by mountains in southwestern Anhui, the smell of blood and incense are intertwined all year round. The heroine Lin Qiubai is the daughter of the town butcher Lin Manjiang. She grew up in front of the butcher's counter and was used to seeing the separation of flesh and blood, but she also developed extraordinary powers of observation and a keen perception of death. After being admitted to the Provincial Forensic School with excellent results, she originally wanted to escape the shadow of the small town, but she was involved in bizarre cases one after another on campus. The truth under the scalpel is peeled off layer by layer, and there are chilling secrets hidden behind every case. When the bad news of his father's unexpected death came from his hometown, Lin Qiubai returned to the town, only to find that he was trapped in a bigger mystery - all the cases were inextricably linked to his family, and a bloody conspiracy spanning twenty years was slowly unraveling.
