Lin Xiaowan, a modern history student, is accidentally electrocuted at an archaeological site and transmigrates into the body of a three-year-old girl. Adopted by the woodcutter Lin Dayong, she begins a new life in ancient times. In a world reminiscent of the Ming Dynasty, her memories and way of thinking from her previous life draw her into a bizarre murder case in the village. Seizing on the legend of the "Ghost-Eyed Judge," she helps County Magistrate Song Zhijin solve the case, and the two form a bond.
As she grows up, she overcomes hostility from within her family, uses her knowledge to help the villagers and fight an epidemic, but attracts the attention of a high-ranking official, Lord Zhou. A member of an organization of transmigrators, Lord Zhou frames Song Zhijin and kidnaps her, hoping to change history. After escaping, Lin Xiaowan joins forces with her family to rescue him and expose the conspiracy, ultimately bringing Lord Zhou to justice.
As an adult, she and Song Zhijin establish the "Bright Mirror Hall." Combining modern knowledge with their official positions, they solve strange cases and redress wrongful convictions, finding a place to belong and love in another world as they write a legendary tale of solving mysteries across time and space.
