唐宫奇案 · Táng Gōng Qí Àn
Tang-dynasty mystery drama. Bai Lu plays Li Peiyi, a county lady with elite combat skills who investigates seven cases of apparent supernatural horror inside the imperial court — corpse-burning, bleeding walls, skeleton brides — alongside astrologer Xiao Huaijin played by Wang Xingyue. Every "supernatural" event has a rational, more horrifying explanation rooted in political corruption. From the author of A Guide to Time-Traveling to the Tang Dynasty.
