[Two kills from the start! A bronze mirror forces me to repay the dead]
I’m Su Li, a modern forensic pathologist. The moment powerful men have me silenced in the ICU,
my family’s bronze mirror drags me into the Jiajing era of Great Yan
where I become the useless legitimate daughter of a military family, whose body is being rolled up in a straw mat!
Words of blood appear in the mirror, counting down: [Unpaid blood debt: 99 days]
The back of the original’s head, supposedly killed in a fall from a horse, bears a fatal wound from a round blunt object!
[Ding! With a scalpel in hand, the whole dynasty begs me to dissect corpses]
While the entire court knows only how to “test for poison with a silver needle”:
✔️ I use a crystal microscope of my own design to find DNA in the Crown Prince’s stomach: “You murdered your own father. The evidence is conclusive!”
✔️ I perform a midnight autopsy on my enemy in the morgue: “This blade was sent by the empress who burned to death in Fengque three hundred years ago!”
✔️ I slap an autopsy report down before the dragon throne: “Your Majesty, your favorite consort’s pregnancy... was lost because someone stabbed a little effigy!”
The powerful men who once called me a “witch” now kneel all over my courtyard: “Miss Su, please dig up my father’s grave and examine him!”
[The cold-faced Regent grabs me by the throat and warns: “Examine one more corpse, and you die.”]
He crushes the killer’s skull I hand him. “Had enough?”
I press my scalpel against his heart in return. “Your Highness, your heartbeat’s racing... are you afraid I’ll find out you’re faking your illness?”
