My name is Liu Ying, an orphan from the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, and a widower who grew up in Yizhuang. I make a living by doing autopsies and investigating crimes in dark alleys. Jing Zhaoyin tacitly allows me to walk between life and death. Chang'an is prosperous, but the souls of injustice are hidden under the wealthy families.
Serial murders occur frequently. Gold powder is hidden in the nails of the deceased. The pollen leads to the spice shop, and the shady secrets of the powerful are revealed layer by layer. I used a knife to dissect the corpse in pursuit of the truth, but was involved in the court turmoil.
The Ninth Prince, Shen Muchi, is a cold-faced, abstinent man with a dark side and double standards, but he only has some warmth for me. He used my autopsy skills, and I relied on his power to overturn the case. One uses conspiracy and the other uses knife to solve strange cases together.
The killer is cruel, the officials are ruthless, and the businessmen are cunning. Who is behind all this? In the prosperous age, the shock has not stopped.
