Palace Mystery: Cheng Baishu, the new imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital, was promoted due to his superb medical skills, but he was accidentally involved in the bizarre cases of the sudden deaths of maids in the Yuqing Palace. The deceased all showed the strange symptom of "gold on the outside, but ruined on the inside".
First acquaintance with partners: Cheng Baishu and Jiang Banxia, the head of the Criminal Department, were forced to form an investigative partner. They were a medical idiot obsessed with autopsies and a female officer who was proficient in the art of autopsy. They disliked each other and gradually discovered each other's expertise.
Hidden clues: During the investigation, it was found that all the deceased had come into contact with the "Snow Muscle Jade Powder" tribute from the Western Regions, and the person responsible for purchasing it was Cheng Baishu's mentor Xu Yuanshi. Behind the case, there was an ulterior secret of the Taiyuan Hospital.
Power game: As the investigation deepens, the case involves the concubines of the harem and the power of the court. Cheng Baishu has to find a balance between the benevolence of a doctor and the struggle of the court. Jiang Banxia faces deliberate obstruction by his superiors in the Ministry of Justice.
The truth emerged: When the two finally locked in the key witness, the witness died mysteriously under close guard, pointing to a palace secret that even the emperor kept secret.
