A female coroner living under the shackles of a feudal society uses a scientific eye to solve bizarre cases and a courageous heart to challenge the imperial court. Between family, love, and duty to her country, she ultimately awakens to herself and breaks free of the role imposed on her. She touches death with her fingertips, while he uses his blade to protect the truth.
When the bones reveal what was buried for twenty years, they finally understand:
The deepest case lies in the human heart; the most painful mystery lies in the bloodline; and the brightest light is her figure pressing on against the wind.
