Synopsis

(Two equally strong leads + mystery + sweet romance + transmigration) Episodic investigations weave into the main plot, bringing science and the supernatural into their ultimate collision. Enter a fantastical world woven from truth and lies! When the blade of science strikes at the mysteries of the supernatural, what is the ultimate answer to the truth?

Modern top forensic pathologist Lu Zhiwei is killed while tracking a serial killer. She transmigrates into the body of a calamity-bringing illegitimate daughter of an ancient minister, falsely accused of “causing her father’s death.” Faced with her biological father, whose body has turned to bones in just three days inside a locked room; a string of heartless corpses appearing in the Grand Canal; and a concubine who set herself on fire in the Cold Palace… She firmly believes that “corpses never lie,” yet is forced to become the partner of Xie Wuwang, the foremost master of the mystic arts, who believes in “summoning spirits and consulting the dead.”

He summons spirits with talismans; she examines remains with a scalpel. He divines fortune and misfortune by peering into the secrets of heaven; she crunches data to solve mysteries. From mutual loathing to entrusting their lives to each other, they join forces to expose the shocking conspiracy behind one bizarre case after another. A dark organization that uses the “Seven Stars Soul-Locking Formation” to harvest the seven emotions of humanity and attempts to kill the gods and seize the throne has already extended its claws toward imperial power, the martial world, and even other dimensions!

“Your bones can lie.” She points to the worn spots on the remains. “The killer spent years kneeling in worship, and has an old injury to his right hand.”

“Your evidence can deceive you.” He summons a lingering spirit to whisper. “The dead say they saw the moonlight silk at his sleeve.”

As scientific deduction and mystical arts collide, and the bloodline of the former dynasty intertwines with the fate of a soul from another world, they discover that the truth is far more brutal than they imagined. Her transmigration was no accident, but part of a thousand-year conspiracy; his existence was no coincidence, but the only key to breaking the curse.

This is the ultimate showdown between reason and faith,
