She thought that marrying the prince would save her family, but on the night of the wedding, a glass of poisonous wine sent her on her way. She watched helplessly as her father was falsely accused of "colluding with evil spirits" and executed, but she didn't even see who the murderer was.
When she opened her eyes again, she returned to three years ago.
In this life, she has a strange "golden finger" - as long as she touches the bones of the deceased, she can see the scene of their death.
Strange cases occurred one after another in Chang'an City: officials disappeared out of thin air at home, leaving only a skinless corpse; the bride turned into blood in the sedan chair; someone saw a ghost demanding his life in the bronze mirror in the palace...
Xiao Yan, the young minister of Dali Temple, was ordered to investigate the case, but he was trapped by these "unmanned" cases. Ji Nazhi took the initiative to ask for help and used the technique of "bone observation" to solve the mystery again and again.
Xiao Yan does not believe in ghosts and gods, but she is shocked by her "intuition" time and time again: "How do you know what the deceased saw before he died?"
Ji Nanzhi smiled and said nothing, but he was thinking in his heart: Because I not only saw the scene before the death of the deceased, but also saw the back of the person who killed me in the previous life, wearing the same official uniform as you.
As the case deepens, she discovers that all the strange cases point to a secret buried by history: Twenty years ago, an ancient city disappeared overnight, leaving 30,000 people in the city alive and dead. The person responsible for "handling" the matter back then was the emperor's most trusted advisor.
What's even weirder is that every time she touches the bones of the deceased, she will see the same jade pendant in the picture - that jade pendant is hanging on the waist of the current prince.
Ji Nanzhi finally understood: The person who killed her in her previous life and what she had to deal with in this life were never evil spirits.
