Without big names headlining this excellent crime series, it’s possibly in danger of going under the radar. The show’s biggest selling point is undoubtedly its tight, disciplined script played out in the context of court politics during the latter part of the Tang dynasty. The titular character is a young country lass skilled at prying secrets from the dead and heads to the big city determined to take up the family business in a male-dominated profession. When she arrives at the hustle and bustle of Chang’an, Chu Chu attracts the attention of Jing Yi, the head of Dalisi, the imperial court of justice. He then promptly expedites her entry into the coroner’s examination. Soon her talent for dealing with the dead puts her in the spotlight, also drawing unwanted attention from those who are curious about the missing Prince Consort, Xiao Heng.
