Lu Mingyuan, a talented detective who was demoted from Chang'an for offending powerful people, encountered a shocking "Corpse Walking on a Rainy Night" case while serving in Weinan County. The corpse was able to walk on its own, leaving only the remains of strange mechanisms and a rare trace of purple clay. All clues point to a local theater troupe famous for its puppet shows.
