During the Zhenyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Jing Waner, who was taken into the service of Yeting due to her father's unjust case, relied on her family's medical skills to become a secret "corpse whisperer", interpreting the last words of the deceased in mass graves. In order to find out the truth about his father's death, the cold-faced detective Pei Tan transferred the daughter of the guilty minister out of the palace. The two formed a "skeleton partner". Starting from the serial deaths of palace maids, they gradually uncovered a shocking conspiracy that spanned seven years. When the silver needle of the autopsy points to the secret of the royal family, and the blood book of the current dynasty implicates the powerful people of the dynasty, the two people who are each other's pawns develop a true love between life and death. Facing the "Seven Star Alliance" that could subvert the Tang Dynasty, can the daughter of the imperial physician and the minister of punishment clear each other's family grievances in the whirlpool of power?
