Three years ago, Shen Zhaoye, the youngest female widower in Beijing, died in a fire.
The government said that she committed suicide out of fear of crime, and the people said that she covered up for the murderer. Even the files she personally inspected were sealed overnight. But three years later, on a cold night, a green lamp suddenly lit up in Yizhuang in the west of the city. Under the lamp sat a woman who looked exactly like Shen Zhaoye.
She has no old identity, no household registration, and even her heart has lost an inch of body temperature.
Only one skill remained: the dead person did not speak, but she could see the deceased's last breath from the bones, scars, and shadows of the lamp.
Xie Wujiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, was ordered to investigate her. He suspected that she was a demon and a murderer. She was the only missing person in the old case. Shen Zhaoye handed him the first corpse with a smile: "Master Xie, you can arrest me if you want. First, let's see if this person died for me."
From then on, people died every night in Beijing, and old cases were illuminated by green lanterns.
She wants to get her name back, and she also wants those who burned her to death to kneel in front of the lamp and confess their sins one by one.
She has examined everyone's corpses, but this time, she wants to examine her own life.
Concept: The heroine becomes colder, more accurate, and more courageous after "dying once"; every case is a murder case on the surface, but behind it all points to her own death.
