In the cold palace of the Dayan Dynasty, people died every month for three hundred years. There were concubines who were wronged and maids who took the blame for others, but no one cared about it. Because it was a woman who died? Because he died in the cold palace? Or is it because it's always been like this?
On her first day after taking office, the female doctor Shen Qinghe was pushed to the forefront by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take the blame. However, she noticed some strangeness that no one else could see. Following the traces left by the deceased, she successively tore apart the masks of several unsolved cases.
But the more the case is investigated, the less it looks like a simple murder case. Every clue leads to the forbidden place in the deepest part of the Cold Palace where no one dares to set foot. Some people changed the case file late at night, some used Feng Shui magic to block her way, and some were trying to silence her at all costs, just to make a certain name disappear forever.
Others relied on books to learn medicine, but she relied on death to learn medicine. In order to find out the truth, she faked her death to hide it from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She exposed the lie in the palace where murderous people were murderous at every step, and made the aloof imperial doctor, the Ministry of Internal Affairs who watched with cold eyes, and the alchemists who controlled life and death through Feng Shui magic all pay the price.
Until the person who had been judged dead suddenly opened his eyes in front of everyone——
Until Shen Qinghe found an old book full of dead people's names, with her own name written on it. Only then did she realize that she had walked step by step into a dead end arranged by others. There were so many untouchable secrets hidden in this cold palace. Can she still get out alive? And will she herself become the next person who will never wake up?
