Greed, rage, delusion, arrogance, envy, sloth, and doubt:

The seven evils of the human world are the cases Ji Ze must investigate.

Ji Ze spent two thousand years as a fool. When he finally awoke, he thought he was about to begin a smooth life of transmigrating and solving cases.

But his nemesis from two thousand years ago kept appearing at every crime scene for no apparent reason, mysterious and unpredictable, constantly throwing a wrench in his plans.

As the Crown Prince of Great Qin, Ji Ze was born with the weight of the world on his shoulders. He was always gentle, composed, and in control, but that was all an illusion...

Two thousand years ago, Ji Ze willingly gave up his three souls to mend the dragon veins.

Two thousand years later, his memories awakened in the modern era. He transmigrated through time, investigating one bizarre murder after another across different dynasties.

Peer into the stories, discern the truth, judge evil, and see the hearts of men.

Ji Ze's secrets gradually come to light...

*

Chu Yuanxu, Ji Ze's sworn enemy from a thousand years ago, inexplicably appears in every murder case,

with a different identity and appearance each time, yet always equally mysterious and inscrutable.

Chu Yuanxu never explains himself, but always appears at crucial moments, and even seems to know the truth before Ji Ze does.

Sometimes he lends Ji Ze a hand, and sometimes he makes the situation even more chaotic.

It is as if he is guiding Ji Ze through the investigation, yet also enjoying the sight of him going down the wrong path.

With his intentions unclear and his entanglement relentless, Ji Ze has no choice but to accept a life of investigating cases alongside Chu Yuanxu. Every day, he wants nothing more than to get rid of him.

But Chu Yuanxu takes advantage of Ji Ze's vulnerability, ensnaring him little by little, growing ever more brazen. Ji Ze cannot tell whether it was all planned long ago or a spur-of-the-moment decision.

In any case, somehow they end up kissing, then sleeping together.

Under a bright moon and sparse stars, Ji Ze wakes from a midnight dream, only to find Chu Yuanxu holding him as he turns over. He instinctively nuzzles against him, then suddenly snaps fully awake...
