Set during the reign of Emperor Ren Zong in the Northern Song Dynasty, it follows a series of bizarre cases occurring amid undercurrents between the imperial court and the martial arts world. When a strange “lantern hanging case” takes place, Song Yuan, an upright and decisive Vice Minister of Justice, and Su Jin Xuan, a meticulous coroner, are brought together as investigative partners.
Together, they traverse the streets and alleys of Bianjing, solving many seemingly bizarre cases — such as a haunted house with hidden human scheming and a poisoning incident unraveled through careful reasoning and keen observation. While each case stands alone, they also lay the groundwork for a larger overarching mystery.
