The Founding Father of Tang Dynasty Forensics: I Just Want to Fish in Peace

Top forensic pathologist Jiang Chen dies suddenly after working overtime all night, then opens his eyes to find himself transmigrated into the lowest-ranked coroner at the Great Court of Justice in the Tang Dynasty.

His lowly status makes him a hereditary slave. His descendants cannot take the imperial examinations, and even after death he cannot be buried in the family graveyard. It's a hellish start.

Jiang Chen gives up on the spot: in this life, he wants to do nothing but keep a low profile, slack off, and scrape by.

But from the start, he runs into an old coroner who treats human life like nothing, mistakenly ruling a poisoning as a sudden illness.

Jiang Chen's professional ethics explode. Slacking off is one thing, but treating human lives as a joke? He's on the case!

His modern forensic expertise shocks everyone on the spot, forcing him to rush to the front lines of the investigation.

One bizarre murder after another follows. He uses the secrets written on the dead to catch the real culprits and solve cold cases, rising from a despised rookie slave to a master coroner known throughout Chang'an.

A princess takes a liking to him, and beautiful women fall for him? Jiang Chen says, "Don't bother me. Slacking off comes first... Wait, this case could get me out of slave status? Then I'll show you another trick!"

Watch as this laid-back forensic examiner navigates the Tang Dynasty, stirs up a storm with his forensic skills, and rises to legendary heights!
