Forensic examiner Chu Xiu transmigrates into the body of the most famous courtesan in the capital.
Just as she thinks she can make a living off her looks from now on, a case involving skeletons in a dry well at a pleasure house pulls her into a dangerous whirlpool.
Were all the dead women former rivals in the courtesan selection contest?
Was the murder scene in a secret room in Chu Xiu's chambers?
Every clue points to Chu Xiu, and the beautiful courtesan suddenly becomes a murder suspect.
But when Chu Xiu searches the original body's memories, she finds no trace of any murder.
With nowhere left to turn, she can only return to her old profession.
"The pelvic bones of several skeletons indicate that the deceased had given birth. It's too hasty to identify them based on their clothes and personal belongings."
"The victims died from beatings. The force involved could not have come from a physically frail woman."
Using her expertise, Chu Xiu clears her name.
But the pleasure house is sealed as a result.
With nowhere else to go, Chu Xiu is recruited by the Judicial Office and becomes a junior coroner.
Whenever she arrives at a crime scene, her beauty makes everyone present swoon. But her seasoned methods of examining corpses also leave them screaming in terror.

The veteran director: "Wait..."
