The famous sculptor Xu Man was found sealed in a huge piece of amber resin. His death was peaceful and strange, and the scene was as perfect as an art exhibition. All clues pointed to her ex-boyfriend who had a grudge due to a business dispute. However, former police consultant Zhou Xun sensed a deeper conspiracy from a cheap toy bird that was out of place at the scene.
As the investigation deepened, Zhou Xun discovered that this was not a simple vendetta. The dead man's calm expression, the murderer's superb "creative" technique, and the toy bird that keeps appearing as clues all point to a dusty childhood past and an extreme promise of protection and destruction. When the most unlikely suspect surfaced, Zhou Xun realized that the truth was far crueler than the most twisted work of art. The murderer is not killing people, but completing a "redemption" that spans twenty years.
