On the day Shen Zhaotang, the princess of Zhaoning County, was sent back to Dayong by Beidi, the whole capital was waiting to see her laugh.
Her husband died suddenly, the royal court rushed her away, and the prince's mansion was closed. Everyone said that she was an unlucky and abandoned concubine, and that no one who came into contact with her would end well.
But no one knew that among the relics she brought back from Beidi, there was a murder hidden by "respectability".
There is a scent of soul-reviving incense in the mourning shed, a funeral sheet from the old charity house, a blood-stained embroidered shoe from a brothel girl... Those women who were written about being acutely ill, lost their footing, or had difficult childbirths emerged from their anonymous burials one by one.
Shen Zhaotang has no knowledge of gods and ghosts, and continues to live and die. He only relies on the old knowledge of coffin that he learned in the charity house when he was young, identifying clothes, distinguishing incense ashes, checking relics, and writing the erased names back into the case files.
Xie Wujiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, originally thought that she was just a retired concubine who was involved in the turmoil, but later he discovered that she was not here to seek innocence.
She is here to plead innocence for the dead.
The Ministry of Etiquette wants to suppress the case, the Marquis Mansion wants to cover its mouth, and the powerful people want to fold the woman's life into a thin funeral sheet.
Shen Zhaotang insisted on collecting them one by one and overturning each case.
They said she was unlucky.
She then let everyone in the capital see clearly that the truly ominous person was never the person who collected the body, but the person who buried the person with "respect".
Concept: ancient suspense, female mutual aid, folklore pseudo-supernatural, slow-burning secret love, reversal of crime and revenge
