Li Quanyan, a forensic coroner from ancient times, arrives in 1990s Hong Kong. Before she can come to terms with her dramatic switched-at-birth story, she faces a new challenge in her career.
Advanced fingerprint comparison technology, innovative photographic records of physical evidence, rigorous biological trace analysis, and the ingenious tools of the forensic department all shake the foundations of traditional coroners' methods...
I.
The new young woman in the police force is not only pretty, but is said to be the true daughter of a wealthy family.
Everyone thinks Li Quanyan is just an ordinary pretty young officer.
When she goes to a crime scene for the first time, all her senior colleagues are ready to comfort their pretty junior.
But when confronted with a suicide by hanging, Li Quanyan raises a red umbrella and finds evidence of murder.
She pieces together the scattered remains of a famous star.
And when faced with bones that no one knows how to examine, she calmly brings out white vinegar and other ingredients to demonstrate the standard three tests for steamed bones.
Her work is simply astonishing.
II.
As the true daughter of a wealthy family, Li Quanyan cannot understand how such a ridiculous story could happen to her.
Her biological parents refuse to acknowledge her for the sake of their fake daughter. Everyone dotes on the fake one, saying they worry she might feel left out, and since the babies were switched, they might as well let things stay that way.
Does that sound like something a human being would say?
Li Quanyan doesn't even look back. Later, she becomes a sensation in the police force as a brilliant detective. The wealthy family is threatened by a "hero" who "robs the rich to help the poor," and the fake daughter kicks her while she's down.
When it is all over, they cry and beg to acknowledge Li Quanyan.
Li Quanyan: Oh, I think letting things stay as they are sounds just fine.

"Defend the rights of the living, speak for the dead."
From ancient times to the modern day, no matter how much forensic investigation advances, this is the creed Li Quanyan holds fast to.
- The setting is mostly fictional, and I'm not very familiar with the locations.
- Lots of investigations. If that's not your thing, please don't click. [There will be many forensic dissections and coroner techniques, though not all methods are included. Times change, after all.]
- The coroner and forensic techniques are based on research and TV shows. I'm no expert, so there will be lots of errors. Corrections are welcome, and I hope more people will learn about these professions.
