Beyond the Axis of Truth

Forensic pathologist Chen Xueming (Edmund Chen) and CID officer Wu Pinyu (Ivy Lee) work together on several manslaughter cases, each of which involves unnatural phenomenons that can only be described as supernatural such as reality-bending, cryokinesis, walking dead/vampirism, time-travel and plant-human hybrids

Case 1: A woman named Liao Yongwei (Vivian Lai) having an extra-marital affair with paraplegic Li Zeyuan (Chen Tianwen) is drowned. When Zeyuan is hospitalised, Yongwei's estranged husband is mysteriously attacked at a bowling alley and later burnt at the hospital.

Case 2: Xueming and Pinyu are called to a string of bodies which showed signs of having been frozen at some point, beginning with two police officers who had been escorting a shoplifter. Nothing seems to match up and their best lead is a mentally disturbed young woman, the same woman that the officers had arrested for shoplifting.

Case 3: A vehicle accident fatality was reportedly seen walking out of the ambulance. Shortly after, several accidents and incidents connected to the "dead man" occur but the presence of blood and no matching victim proves baffling. It wasn't long before a string of corpses of criminals wanted by the police are found drained of their blood, making Xueming and Pinyu suspect they might be dealing with no ordinary criminal.

Case 4: A man discovers he can return to certain points of time, only to learn that time is not something to be messed with

Case 5: A series of incidents ultimately leads to Xueming discovering that his lover Li Yiwen (Priscelia Chan) is in fact a plant-human hybrid. This discovery would lead to tragedy as Yiwen is later found dead, having seemingly been killed in a brutal manner...
