Eight hundred years ago, a low-level gangster in the Southern Song Dynasty tested the poison on his own body in order to solve a series of "corpse poison" cases in which corpses did not rot and blood turned into wax.
As a result, he didn't die - his cells were completely restructured and his metabolism almost stopped.
He became a true "immortal".
Over the past 800 years, he has changed numerous identities: medical officer of the Imperial Hospital in the Ming Dynasty, coroner of the concession in the late Qing Dynasty, teacher of the Forensic Medicine School of the Republic of China...
Today, his name is Shen Zhiwei, a professor of forensic pathology at Beijing Medical University. He looks forever thirty-five years old, but inside he is tortured by two hundred years of information overload and his memory begins to disorder.
The only thing he can rely on is the forbidden medicine he made himself - Qingming Powder.
After taking it, the idle areas of the brain are fully activated, memory, logic, smell, and touch increase several times, and the last secrets of the deceased can be directly read from the tiniest corpse spots and poison residues.
But every time he uses it, it will accelerate the "depletion value" in his body, making the memory disorder more serious.
Traces of the ancient method of "corpse poison" once again appeared on a modern corpse, and an old case from 800 years ago was re-opened.
The government wants control, pharmaceutical companies want mass production, the black market wants monopoly, the killer wants an antidote... Everyone is eyeing the formula in his hand.
What he was really afraid of was not death, but that one day he would completely forget every corpse he had examined and every person he had ever loved, and become an empty shell.
He is the calmest forensic doctor and the loneliest immortal.
This time, he must use Qingming to solve all the old cases before his identity is completely exposed, and also break his own eight-hundred-year-old dead end.
——Eight hundred years of cleansing of wrongs, eternal life without end.
Do you dare to open the first incorruptible corpse with him?
