While investigating the truth behind his father’s death of many years ago, Xie Lanshan utilizes his unique and sharp thinking from the perspective of a psychotic murderer to solve difficult cases around him. Plagued by this growing change and instability of both his mental health and personality, he meets a mysterious forensic sketch artist named Shen Liufei.
