(This article is a fictional article, the dynasty background is fictitious, and there is no saying that a consort cannot interfere in politics.)
The eldest princess of Zhaohua, Shen Mingyuan, had been frail since she was a child and lived in seclusion. People in the capital only knew that she was dignified and observant, and that she was the golden branch in the palm of the empress. No one knew that she was reincarnated into this world with the memory of being a forensic doctor in her previous life.
An imperial edict of marriage bound her to Xiao Yanci, the youngest young minister of the Dali Temple at that time, as husband and wife.
Xiao Yanci was born in a poor family and became famous at a young age. He acted coldly and rigorously, and settled cases fairly and truthfully.
There are floating corpses in Willow Beach on the outskirts of the city, and there are widespread rumors that water ghosts are seeking their lives. She occasionally got a clue and discovered the flaw in dumping the body after death; he dug deep based on the evidence and found out the real culprit behind it.
Since then, the two have worked together, openly and secretly, to solve strange cases in the city:
Jinxiufang cried in the middle of the night, and three members of the Xiufang owner's family died one after another. Is it an innocent soul seeking his life or silence?
The Zen room in the ancient temple was burned to death, and the abbot left for the West. Was it because he was possessed by evil spirits or because he wanted money and silk?
Corpses floating in canals, curses on ancient paintings, phantoms in deserted stations, frightened theater troupes... Dozens of murder cases cloaked in supernatural disguises, layer by layer stripped of the disguises of gods and ghosts, are revealed to be the greed, anger and obsession of the human heart.
