On a rainy night, modern forensic doctor Yi Jianlai was struck by lightning and traveled through time. When he woke up, he was in the countryside of the Ming Dynasty more than 300 years ago, with a bleeding corpse lying in front of him.
Before he could figure out the situation, he was regarded as a suspect by a smart female doctor holding a silver hairpin.
A mountain god demands life, a paper man returns to life, an ancient well swallows people, a shadow puppet curses people, a headless chicken conjures souls, an ancient painting weeps blood, a coffin comes to life, an embroidery poisons someone, a stone bridge breaks a waist, the sun and the moon shine together - ten strange cases across six towns, each of them seems to be haunted by ghosts and gods, and each one hides a shocking murder.
When modern criminal investigation science collides with ancient feudal superstition, and when forensic toxicological analysis meets rural magic legends, Yi Jianlai uses the most professional crime-solving methods to uncover the truth behind every "supernatural incident".
And the female doctor Tan Min, who went from vigilance to trust, from partner to confidant, became his warmest support in this strange era.
But as the case deepens, a mysterious figure codenamed "Mr. Mo" emerges. He taught people to kill people, create panic, and laid a huge net in six towns. What is his purpose? Is Yi Jian's time travel an accident, or is there another mystery behind it?
Ten strange cases, each step is shocking. The truth is hidden, and love determines the countryside.
When science and superstition confront each other, when justice and revenge meet on a narrow road - this is the legend of a time-travel detective who solves crimes, and it is also the life-and-death relationship of a heroic couple.
