Shen Zhiwei, a top student in modern criminal psychology, wakes up and becomes the bullied concubine of the family of an ancient minister of the Ministry of Justice. She is also involved in an elaborate theft case and is imprisoned.
In court, she used her insight into micro-expressions and human behavior to reverse the case on the spot, shocking everyone. Xiao Jinyu, the head of the Criminal Department, a young and stern official of the imperial court, saw her value that transcended the times, and gave her a case of the disappearance of the embroidered lady that had been pending for three years as a "letter of surrender."
An embroidered shoe left beside a dry well involves not only a mysterious and unresolved case, but also an intricate court feud and a palace murder case that has been buried in dust for twenty years. In order to survive and pursue the justice in her heart, Shen Zhiwei resolutely chose to stay in the Criminal Department and, as a woman, stepped into this battlefield of power and crime that belongs to men.
From a prisoner to a female criminal officer, she carved her way in the ancient criminal department by manipulating people's hearts.
Purpose: Use the mirror of modern science to shine a light on the darkness of ancient machinations; use the light of individual reason to seek justice in the world
