Shen Yanxue, the minister of Dali Temple who disguised herself as a man, met Xiao Yunjing, the dandy prince, in the autopsy room. She possesses the lost skill of steaming bones to examine injuries, and he has a compass from the Mo family hanging on his waist. When the twelve-petal lotus mark appears on the bride's headless body, the two are forced to join forces - he jokes that investigating the case relieves his boredom, and she secretly gets what she needs.
"Mr. Shen knows a lot about women's makeup." He lifted her chin and glanced at her tight collar.
"Xiaguan is just good at observation." She put the silver needle against his throat, "For example, the poisonous powder from the Western Regions on the prince's sleeves."
Murderous crimes occurred one after another, and each case was enough to set off a bloody storm in the court. He cut his wrist and fed her the detoxifying blood: "I'll protect you this time." But she inserted the golden needle into his acupuncture point: "This needle will pay back your three years of deception."
