Modern forensic doctor Su Qinghe transmigrates by accident and becomes Shen Yan, an obscure apprentice coroner at the Imperial Medical Bureau of the Great Jing Dynasty. Bearing modern forensic knowledge and an unwavering belief in the principle that doctors should have compassion, she begins with the "Embroiderer's Charred Corpse Case." Using innovative methods such as testing burned corpses with damp cotton wadding and examining wounds through the filtered light of a red oil-paper umbrella, she breaks through the traditional constraints of ancient postmortem examinations. She meets the upright official Xie Linyuan for the first time, while also drawing the doubts and difficulties of the conservative faction.
From unraveling the "staged suicide" in the scholar's hanging case to taking in the orphan Xiao Shitou in the ancient well corpse case; from examining remains in the wilderness after a horse caravan's robbery and murders to pioneering toxicological analysis in the salt merchant's murder case, Shen Yan establishes herself step by step through her formidable expertise. As she investigates cases alongside Xie Linyuan, trust and understanding gradually grow between them. As she delves into cases such as the imperial consort's miscarriage and the Crown Prince's sudden death, she is unexpectedly swept into the whirlpool of imperial power struggles: Empress Liu's plot to cause a miscarriage, the Second Prince's fight for the heir apparent's position, and a transnational rebellion involving the former Minister of War and the mysterious "Zhulong" organization. Behind layer upon layer of mystery, a shocking conspiracy involving royal secrets and medical corruption gradually comes to light.
The "Murder of the Imperial Physician Case" proves pivotal to breaking the case open. Li Xiuyuan, the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, dies under mysterious circumstances. On the surface, it appears to be a sudden heart ailment, but in truth, he was murdered for discovering the Fourth Prince's secret parentage and the truth about aconitine poisoning. Defying obstruction from Zhang Henian, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Shen Yan uses autopsy reports, reconstructed medical records, and the tracing of poisonous substances not only to expose the collusion between the real culprits, Noble Consort Li and the former Minister of War, but also to uncover the dark network through which the Zhulong organization has long controlled the trade in exotic poisons and plotted palace coups.
