When Hongwu founded the country, Zhu Yuanzhang cast a national monument in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, tied the destiny of the Mingjiao followers to the destiny of the country, and suppressed the ghosts and gods of the mountains and rivers in the world. For more than two hundred years, gods and ghosts have not appeared, and evil spirits have escaped. In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the national destiny declined. Officials are corrupt, religious believers are degenerate, newly wealthy families are annexing land, and the people have no place to stand. The seal of the Imperial Ancestral Temple is loose, and evil spirits appear frequently in various places - the lights are turned on in the deserted temple late at night, the corpses in the coffins turn over on their own, someone in the secret room has his heart ripped out and dies, and there are claw marks on the wall that are twice the size of a human hand. Modern criminal police officer Shen Heng died in the line of duty and woke up as a young police officer in Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture who was about to be abolished. The family is poor, the widowed mother depends on each other, and the future is bleak. A bizarre secret room heart-extraction case pushed him to the forefront - the deceased was in the outer room of Qianhu in Beijing. Someone had a fist-sized hole in his chest. The doors and windows were locked. Everyone said it was a monster. Shen Heng doesn't believe in evil. Starting from a tuft of dog hair, a strangulation mark, and a finger bone engraved with runes, he tore open the fig leaf of Shuntian Mansion step by step. The powerful kill people like fools, the guards play with people's hearts, and the secrets deep in the Ancestral Temple are surfacing. He can solve the unsolved case, but he cannot stop the calculation of the human heart - when the dynasty overthrows and ghosts and gods arise, true peace depends not on a monument but on justice.
