In 2023, Chen Ping, a calm and rational forensic doctor, was accidentally electrocuted to death after working overtime continuously to deal with a bizarre serial murder case. When she opened her eyes again, she found that she was Chen Ping, an orphan girl with the same name who lived in Shanghai in 1935 and was in dire straits because her father (former police officer) was fired for alcoholism. In order to survive, she had to make use of her father's remaining connections and the vague memory of the original owner, and disguised herself as a man to take over her father's job in the patrol house in the public concession.
However, a series of murders occurred one after another with strange techniques that far exceeded the level of criminal investigation at that time: a banker died suddenly and mysteriously in a secret room, but his wounds showed that it could not be repaired; a famous actress "melted" on the stage in full view; a howl that did not sound like a human voice came from the old house late at night... The patrol room was in a panic, and the public was in an uproar.
