Shanghai's Yong'an District in the 10th year of the Republic of China was a crack where old and new gears jammed. Lin Wanqiu is a "wild reporter" who runs social news. She specializes in picking up "female scandals" that the police do not want as clues - the dancer died with a red rose in her mouth, and the female student said before she disappeared that someone was trying to destroy her innocence. Su Mingyue is the only female forensic doctor in the French Concession. She always discovers secrets on the autopsy table that the corpse should not have: abortifacients, fake scars, and the same green clam coin as when her father disappeared. When female celebrities died suddenly, newspaper editors were killed, and they themselves became wanted criminals, they discovered that behind all the "female stains", there was a shadow called "Qingfuhui". Some people use chastity as a knife, while others use public opinion as a gun. Red roses are not romance, but an execution order engraved on women's bones. Two women were forced into a desperate situation by the world. One used evidence as a bullet, and the other used reports as explosives. Through the shady layers of the police station, newspaper office, and chamber of commerce, they blasted a path that would make the old world fearful. There was no hen racing, just back-to-back gunfire. They are reporters and forensic doctors, prey and hunters, knots tied together by rumors. When the man behind the scenes changes from a "patriotic businessman" to a "saviour", when the fragrance of red roses wafts into the newspaper office, when all clues point to the column editor who wrote "women should behave as women"... What you think you see is the fragility of women, but in fact it is the most feared awakening of the old era. "We don't want to be perfect victims, we want to be judges." - When the bell on the Bund rang, two figures stood in the undercurrent before dawn. What they wanted to dissect this time was the entire world of cannibalism.
