The living can lie.
But the dead never do.
In his previous life, Lin Xiao was a top forensic pathologist, calm and composed, never fazed by anything.
In this life, Lin Xiao took over his father Lin Zhenshan’s work as a coroner, once again putting his skills to perfect use and helping Magistrate Huo Qingshan solve one case after another.
Huo Qingshan, the young and handsome magistrate of Lishan County, was generous with his money and wasted no time making his mark after taking office.
In the short year he had served, nothing in the county escaped his sharp eye, from petty thefts and the loss of a few copper coins to murder, arson, and the theft of an entire mountain.
But this time, the mystery they faced was far more complicated than it seemed.
Lin Zhenshan was dead, mysterious assassins kept appearing, and Lin Xiao had several close calls.
Behind it all was a powerful figure in the capital, and the interests of several forces from the former dynasty and the imperial court were entangled…
The Minister of Rites’ daughter was murdered, and Lin Xiao became a suspect, nearly ending up in prison.
Secrets of the inner palace and struggles at court.
One conspiracy after another came crashing down on them.
Fortunately, from beginning to end, Huo Qingshan never wavered in his trust in Lin Xiao.
Solving the case was slow and slow, and the male protagonist kept 4 concubines and had 7 children with them, so I lost the desire to continue watching.
