Gu Nanyi is the legitimate daughter of a family of embalmers. After a murder case involving the imperial family, her fiance and younger stepsister conspired to frame her. Accused of being "depraved and impure," she was thrown into a pond to drown. She survived against all odds and was swept downstream. When she awoke, she discovered she could hear the voices of the dead. From then on, she wore a mask and assumed the name "Sangeng," becoming the most famous "ferryman" in the underworld, taking on bizarre murder cases for the highest bidder. As she solved one unsolved case after another, the clues pointed straight to the capital's powerful families, and she caught the attention of the incorruptible Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, Wei Zhao, her former fiance's uncle. Wei Zhao repeatedly pursued "Sangeng," but as they crossed paths, he gradually became captivated by her talent and integrity. At last, he discovered that she was the very woman he had once deeply regretted losing: his nephew's former bride.
