In order to survive, he relied on his post-mortem knowledge that transcended the times and was accidentally involved in a bizarre murder case. He awakened the golden finger of the [live deduction simulator] - touching the corpse or evidence can enter the simulation space and deduce the case from a first-person perspective. From then on, he entered the coroner's field, starting from a small official in the county town, and along the way he solved the "White Lotus Bones Case", "The Mystery of the Floating Corpse in the Canal", "The Ghost of the Imperial Mausoleum" and other shocking cases, and became famous.

Lu Chen discovered that the truth about his time travel, the blood feud between his parents, and the origin of the golden finger in his hand were all closely connected with a "Yinsi" plan aimed at subverting the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. He must survive in the machinations of power, use corpses to reveal the truth, change from a chess piece to a chess player, and finally find a peaceful world for the world in the whirlpool of the court and the rivers and lakes.
