[Ghost doctor heroine + fate-swapping + two female leads + historical political intrigue + mystery and investigation + ensemble power struggles]
A dead man speaks to file a complaint against the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Shen Ruoli is the most uncanny ghost doctor in the capital. Her Yellow Springs Needle can make the dead speak, and it can also drag the living back from the brink. But with one jab of the needle, she discovers the Marquis of Zhenbei is up to something even more sinister: swapping people's fates.
Changing faces, altering meridians, transplanting bones, cultivating voices.
Following the trail, she crosses paths with Princess Rong Zhaohua, who has been abandoned for eighteen years and has just one thought in her mind: make everyone pay.
Shen Ruoli wants to save people. Rong Zhaohua wants to collect a debt.
Yet their fates have long been entangled by someone else. When one is hurt, the other feels pain; when one is drawn into the plot, the other can't escape either.
Only later does Shen Ruoli understand: someone is trying to create a destiny.
And she herself has long been caught in this web of fate.
