Lin Zhao traveled through time and became the lowest-ranking poison-testing chef in the imperial dining room of the Dayin Dynasty. On his first day on the job, he poisoned the prince to death by cooking the "Dragon Beard and Phoenix Marrow Soup" with his own hands.
The cook who tested the poison poisoned his master to death. According to the law, he joined the nine clans and was executed in Lingchi.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty were waiting for his head to fall to the ground, but Lin Zhao found a note in the swill bucket——
""You cooked the food and I put the poison, but guess, who wants you to die? ""
In order to survive, he must use the tampered recipes as clues within three days to find the real murderer amidst the swords and shadows of the Forbidden City.
But the more he investigated, the more he discovered a terrifying fact:
"This poisoning has been brewing ten years ago."
And he was just the last straw.
