Su Hening's father, Su Zongming, was once the most upright widower in Huaining County, but he died unjustly after he was framed for a silk merchant's murder case.
Twelve years later, she returned anonymously and entered the Huaining County government office as the widow's niece. With her unique skills in bone examination using ancient methods, she gradually became the head of the Bone Examination Department from being an unpopular female widow.
The floating corpse in Jinjiang, the poison case of the Li family, the tragic death of a beggar, the murder in the academy... Every small case hides the sinister nature of the human heart, and every corpse hides the unspoken truth.
Using silver needles as blades and corpses as evidence, she uncovered the disguise and uncovered the real culprit. With the help of the cute detective Alai, the anonymous censor Shen Che, and the loyal servant Zheng Bo, she uncovered the shady story of the collusion between Luji Company and the officialdom.
Everyone in the world believes in words, but she only believes in bones.
