A bloody case trapped two generations of loyal people.
A white skeleton caused waves in the government and the public.
On a rainy night in Bianjing, Yan Tangwan, the young minister of Dali Temple, took over a bizarre murder case, but under the bones, he came across an old injustice that had been deliberately forgotten by the dynasty. This case is like a spider web, with everything from the powerful officials in the temples to the undercurrents of the rivers and lakes being woven into it.
He formed an alliance with the powerful commander of the Imperial City Division, the master of Baixiao Tower who possesses intelligence, the genius Zuo Zuo who knows the corpse language, and the descendant of Caimen who has flowers on his sleeves, and they unraveled the cocoon in the interlocking puzzle. However, they soon discover that every step closer to the truth brings them closer to the dynasty's most dangerous secret.
This is a war in which human hearts are the chessboard and truth is the blade. When the injustice is over and the world is at peace, their choices will be redefined - what is loyalty and what is traitor.
