Wen Jing, a modern female forensic doctor, accidentally died while investigating a serial murder case.
When she opened her eyes again, she became the most inconspicuous palace maid in the cold palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty - an unknown female corpse who should have been poisoned three days ago.
The concubines compete for favor, the maids take sides, and everyone is planning how to climb up. Only Wen Jing looked at the red walls of the palace with bright eyes.
To her, there are no ghosts here, just a perfect crime scene. Every corpse fished out of a well that "accidentally fell into the water", every strange death diagnosed as "violent death" by the imperial doctor, silently told her the truth.
When others were frightened by the dead body floating in the pond, she calmly knelt down and checked the color of the body spots and fingernails. When the police closed the case hastily, she secretly checked the contents of the deceased's stomach, overturning the conclusion of "evil".
Her abnormality attracted the attention of the fifth prince Pei Yun, who appeared to be a playboy but was actually in charge of the Secret Intelligence Department. He originally thought she was a monster, but after seeing her reconstruct the life experience of the deceased using only a white bone, he decided to keep this sharpest "knife" with him.
How many secrets are buried in the dry well of the cold palace? Why is the concubine's stillbirth the same as the old case ten years ago? What kind of shady things are transported in the secret passage leading outside the palace?
What Wen Jing didn't know was that the moment she picked up the scalpel, she had already stepped into the center of the darkest vortex of the palace. What she is about to discover is not only the true murderer of the corpse, but also a shocking conspiracy that can subvert the imperial power.
