Synopsis

Laughs and high-stakes thrills collide! The wildest ancient crime-solving adventure imaginable! The moment she opens her eyes, Shen Zhiwei, a top modern forensic pathologist who worked herself to the bone, finds she has become the daughter of a despised coroner in the ancient capital! Her home is bare, creditors are at the door, and she’s facing the miserable prospect of being sold off as a servant. To survive, and to uncover the truth behind her father’s bizarre death, she has no choice but to return to her old profession and volunteer at the Court of Judicial Review. From then on, Xiao Zhi, the aloof, germophobic Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review who harbors secrets, gains a “mad” female assistant who never speaks without shocking everyone. Faced with bizarre deaths, she talks about DNA one moment and bacteria the next, constantly demanding to “perform an autopsy and run tests.” Everyone is left gaping and sees her as a demon. Yet she keeps cracking strange cases with all manner of unheard-of “ingenious techniques”: blood type analysis, toxicology testing, and criminal profiling, leaving her doubters eating their words time and again. In the “White Bones in the Red Mansion” case, she reconstructs the victim’s face from the remains and exposes how the truth was twisted. In the “Imperial Exam Fraud” case, she uses chemical development to decipher a secret message and bring down a conspiracy at court. Her hands are as steady when examining corpses and investigating cases as her tongue is quick when snarking at people. She turns the Court of Judicial Review into a madhouse and cracks the icy expression on Young Master Xiao Zhi’s face again and again. But behind their teamwork on cases and their hilarious daily antics, both harbor earth-shattering secrets: he is a prince of the former dynasty hiding in plain sight to exact revenge, while she is a soul from another world searching for the truth behind her father’s death. They conceal the truth from each other, yet cannot help being drawn together, and their feelings grow amid tests and protection. When the conspiracy in the imperial mausoleum’s underground palace is finally exposed, the culprit behind her father’s poisoning turns out to be connected to the dark arts of the “Torch Dragon Bureau,” a plot that threatens the very foundations of the realm
