The Minister of War's entire household was wiped out overnight, but Jun Mobai, the minister's daughter, escaped with her young brother. To uncover the truth behind the massacre, Jun Mobai disguises herself as a man and becomes a coroner. She unexpectedly meets Lu Pingyun, a powerful deputy minister of the Dali Temple, and together they solve one baffling case after another, using Mobai's forensic knowledge from her previous life and her remarkable skill at reading the dead. A headless female corpse, a serial killer, a mermaid legend... What earth-shattering conspiracy lies behind these seemingly unrelated cases?
It's a very nice book. I read it carefully and slowly. It's so for my taste.
The writing is very good. Mo Bai may have the halo of being the protagonist but he still can't die.
