| Forensics + Criminal Psychology | Every case exposes the truth of human nature!
Are people born good? Or are we born evil, held in check only by rules?
Lin Wanxing, the city police bureau’s top female forensic examiner, doesn’t just dissect bodies. She can read people, too!
Combining forensic psychology with the tiniest clues left among the remains, she uncovers the Pandora’s boxes hidden deep within human nature:
✅ Human bones are dug up from a woodpile, boiled. The cause of a young man with an intellectual disability’s death? A twisted obsession with carrying on the family line!
✅ A gravel tycoon’s family suffers three “accidents” in three years. The brakes were tampered with, and there are signs of a struggle before the fall from the cliff. The killer turns out to be someone close, smiling while hiding a blade!
✅ A whole family running a fruit stall is murdered. Does the killer’s evil stem from neglect in their childhood home? Are monsters made, or are they born?
✅ A rich second-generation heir returns from studying abroad and unearths his mother’s remains beneath a jujube tree in his hometown. She had been missing for years, yet her body was hidden in the family courtyard?
✅ A second-grade boy jumps to his death. Was it the absence of a father’s love? His mother’s high-pressure schooling? His grandparents’ excessive indulgence? Or something else?
✅ A pair of lovers who both cheated are found drowned, hand in hand, after taking their own lives. Was this inevitable under a matchmaking-based dating system, or a sign of people’s lack of responsibility?
Working with sharp-tongued criminal investigation captain Lu Chen, Lin Wanxing uses corpses as evidence and psychology as her blade to solve cases rooted in four sources of evil: obsession, greed, deprivation, and shackles.
Cases keep piling up in this small city, and a common thread begins to emerge. Are people truly born good?
There are no people born good. There are only evil people restrained by rules.
Wonderful and beautiful
