Su Yao, a female Taoist priest from Xuandu, can judge life and death with one hexagram, and draw yin and yang with one stroke.
She entered Chang'an just to investigate the cause of her parents' death seven years ago, but she was involved in a strange case in Chang'an. The painter died suddenly and his pupils turned into gold; the murals bleed, predicting rebellion; and there were even flying fairy musicians playing enchanting music.
Pei Yan, the judge of Dali Temple, came from a famous family and was as pure as jade. When investigating cases, he only recognized the law and not the people. When they first met, he thought she was pretentious. She found him boring.
Later, he watched her use talismans to break the poison, use cinnabar to develop images, and use a mural to reveal the mystery of the rich and powerful's life experience.
"Do Taoist priests also deal with murder cases?"
"Taoist priests don't care about murders. Taoist priests take care of the laws of nature. If the laws of heaven don't care, I take care of them."
She pointed to the bloody words hidden in the mural, and he saw another layer of truth. It was a daughter who used pen and ink to complete the unfinished business for her parents.
The cold and arrogant Taoist female protagonist VS the self-denying and polite male protagonist of Qingzheng Dali Temple. The female is cold and the male is upright, serving as each other's armor.

Dunhuang Mural × Manna Change × Western Region Illusion × Mysterious Cases. It's not supernatural, all mysteries have basis.
The enemy she had been chasing for seven years died in a pool of blood during the Manna Change.
She wrote her mother's last words for her in the corner of the mural——
"The paintings are there, and the people are there."
A thousand years later, the painting is still there. People are still in the painting.
Intention: The road ahead is long, don't lose your heart.
