Synopsis

Modern forensic pathologist Huang Xiaochuan dies suddenly after working overtime for days in a row. When he wakes, he has transmigrated into the Great Sheng Dynasty, becoming an obscure coroner's apprentice. From the start, he is hauled into the imperial court to examine the body of the Crown Princess, who died under mysterious circumstances. If he cannot uncover the truth within three days, he will be buried alongside her. Relying on modern forensic science and criminal psychology, he publicly overturns the conclusion that she "slipped and drowned," exposing the beginning of a shocking conspiracy.

As the investigation deepens, the corpse of a Western Regions caravan leader, a mysterious letter, and the Golden Sparrow Hall, hidden for many years, all point toward the heart of imperial power. Huang Xiaochuan solves one bizarre case after another, from a zombie case and a bronze mirror case to a Western Regions poison-insect case. Through repeated examinations, deductions, and life-or-death struggles, he gradually pieces together a vast secret buried thirty years ago. Duan Qingyu, daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei; Hu Die'er, a renowned courtesan; and Qian Duoduo, a coroner's apprentice, accompany him along the way, helping him protect the truth.

When all the evidence converges in the imperial court, he finally makes the silent dead speak and reveals the true face of the mastermind who has been hidden for thirty years. From a lowly apprentice coroner whom anyone could bully to the greatest coroner in the realm, Huang Xiaochuan has always believed: the dead never lie. The ones who truly know how to deceive are always the living.
