Synopsis

When she opens her eyes, criminal psychology expert Shen Qingxian has become the ultimate villain, “Phantom,” and is about to be executed. The presiding officer is her sworn enemy from the modern world, Gu Zhao, the famed constable of the Six Fan Gate. As the blade is about to fall, she silently mouths to him: “Lord Gu, the monster inside you is watching me.”

To stay alive, Shen Qingxian is drawn into a series of bizarre murder cases as a condemned criminal. By day, she is a cool-headed profiler who teams up with the aloof and dignified Lord Gu Zhao to solve cases, using modern criminal psychology to outclass ancient investigators. By night, she must face Yuan, her wicked and wild alter ego, and dance on the edge of a blade as he whispers dangerously, “You and I are alike.”

She wields the “Sin Mark” golden finger, which lets her read the evil in the world. With her criminal psychology and profiling skills, she can also see straight through people’s hearts and schemes. But her true mission is to stop Gu Zhao’s alter ego, Yuan, from turning evil and destroying the world!
