Some of these details correspond to the cases shown in the trailers.
Let’s start with the overall poster.

The poster’s main theme is a painted scroll, unfolding from near to far. Director Lou previously mentioned that this season’s story is related to “external threats,” so could this scroll be connected to a map of the Tang Dynasty’s border fortresses?

Xiao Jinyu’s position on the poster happens to sit at the midpoint linking several cases, which suggests that someone may be trying to make an issue out of Xiao Jinyu—using him as a focal point.

Now let’s look at the four detailed images on the poster, in order from far to near.

Image 2 shows white bones and palace maids in a lotus pond. This likely corresponds to the “white bones at the birthday banquet” case seen in earlier trailers.

Image 3 depicts a monk and a woman. One notable detail is that the two are holding hands. This should correspond to the mysterious death of Master Shenguan. It feels like Shenguan’s death may be connected to a past romantic relationship.

Image 4 shows, behind a bamboo fence, a masked man dressed in black holding a medicine bottle, with another person facing away from the viewer. The black-clad figure doesn’t look like a Tang person; he feels more like a foreigner. Given that this season’s theme is closely tied to Nanzhao, it’s reasonable to speculate that this masked figure is from Nanzhao. The person with their back to us is very likely a Tang individual colluding with foreign forces for ulterior motives. The bottle probably contains poison—so will someone be poisoned? Could this case be linked to Emperor Wuzong of Tang’s death? Historically, Emperor Wuzong died from poisoning after consuming elixirs. Could this old case be an investigation into the mystery of his death?

Image 5 shows someone dead on a stage. The amount of blood seems unusually excessive. Could it be the result of some kind of mechanical trap, causing such heavy bleeding?

Now back to the characters. In the poster, Jing Yi, Chu Chu, and You Chen’an are all holding objects that look like scrolls, but they’re not quite the same.

It’s still hard to guess what Jing Yi is holding.

What Chu Chu is holding looks a bit like the illustrated manual You Chen’an once gave her—but that raises a question: what, then, is the scroll in You Chen’an’s hands?

Could it be secret information about Nanzhao that he wants to guide the Sanfasi team to help investigate?

As for You Chen’an’s lavish attire—honestly, he doesn’t look like a destitute nobleman at all. So his “fall from grace” may be less about material hardship and more about being politically sidelined or marginalized within the Nanzhao royal family.

Group poster.

The earliest official group portrait promotional image features a giant peacock feather in the background, hinting at the backdrop of the second season's theme: the entanglement between the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty.

The Nanzhao Kingdom revered the peacock, symbolizing royal power and status, and it was also a mascot. During Emperor Wuzong's reign, relations with the Tang Dynasty were relatively peaceful, but from Emperor Xuanzong's reign onwards, tensions began to rise.

This season will likely incorporate some plot points from Emperor Wuzong's era; it remains to be seen how the writers will weave them together! After all, the Nanzhao Kingdom was also embroiled in internal strife at that time, with the real conflict occurring after Emperor Xuanzong's death. It's likely the writers will bring forward some of these events.

Detail on posters~
Xiao Jinyu's solo poster.

The background of this picture is from *Guiguzi: The Art of War*, which states, "Each thing returns to its origin, whether yin or yang, soft or hard, open or closed, relaxed or tense. Therefore, the sage guards its gates, examines its order, measures its power and ability, and compares its skills and weaknesses."

In other words, all things are infinitely changing, but ultimately return to their origin. Growth and decay are interdependent and transformative. By observing and assessing the situation, one can grasp the core of events, adopt corresponding strategies based on the opponent's tendencies, and thus influence the final outcome. Judging from this official promotional image, the props in Little Coroner 2 might be similar to the first one, with many details.

If I may ask: why do you call him Wang Ye? I'm sure there was a reason, but I have no clue, lol.
I don't speak Chinese too but always heard the term 😅

Wang Ye" (王爷 / 王爺) in Chinese typically refers to a prince, marquis, or nobleman of the imperial family~

To friends hearing about this drama for the first time:

It’s good—really good! It’s the strong support and recognition from viewers that carried this small production team to a second season. This is still a story about a group of hot-blooded people whose passion never cools, who love themselves, support their friends, resolve internal troubles, resist external threats, eliminate villains, and protect the common people.

To friends who haven’t watched Season 1:

Not watching Season 1 won’t affect your enjoyment of Season 2! The two seasons are connected but each tells independent case stories. Think of it like the left and right sides of a New Year’s Eve dinner table—either side alone is already a feast, but having both is even better.
