A Chou, a lowly slave girl who was buried alive, awakened her past life memories when she was suffocated in the coffin - she was Shen Wangyou, the top forensic doctor in the 21st century. She picked out blood with her fingertips and broke the coffin with a hosta. She emerged from the corpse odor and darkness, and broke into the ignorant ancient dynasty with the professionalism and rationality of modern forensic medicine.
The horrific birthmark on her face is both a curse and a brand. The Shen family's pursuit, the rumors of Zhenbei King's brutality, and the serial spies in the capital push her to the center of the power whirlpool. She uses scar identification as a blade and bloodstain analysis as a conspiracy to find the truth on the dead and play chess games among the living.
Xiao Jin, the cold-faced king of Shura Zhenbei, was poisoned by a strange poison and his three wives died. He was her refuge in desperate situations and a dangerous ally. The old court cases from fifteen years ago, the secrets of the royal bloodline, and the conspiracy to overthrow the dynasty were uncovered layer by layer under her scalpel.
From a sacrifice waiting to be slaughtered to a strong man playing chess in the world, Shen Wangyou used knowledge to break the game and established his destiny with justice. When the forensic eyes reveal the darkest secret of the dynasty, her life and death dependence on Xiao Jin will eventually rewrite their lives and the fate of the dynasty.
