Author: Wang Xiaogun

Synopsis

[Modern professional elite & proud, scheming constable]

[Classic mystery format & twist after twist & transmigration and transformation & top-notch investigations & two strong, complementary leads & so thrilling it’ll make your head spin]

After solving a paranormal case on Mianbi Island and losing her job, rookie doctor Wang Xiaoxia resolutely sets off for home.

Forced to enter a mysterious ancestral tomb, she unexpectedly gains a miserable cheat ability imbued with mysterious power, and begins her journey to transmigrate into another world, an imperial dynasty.

There, she meets the male lead, Shi Mubai. He seems petty and vindictive, but in truth he is meticulous and sharp-minded.

The two join forces to seek the truth through layers of fog, with danger lurking at every turn. From bizarre murders to the secrets of the dynasty, you will never guess the culprit in any case until the very end.

Mysteries include: the vengeful ghost case on Mianbi Island, where it’s impossible to tell whether the culprit is human or ghost; conjoined twin sisters who repay a kindness by granting her a cheat ability; the murder of a brothel madam, where a tragic courtesan leads to the real culprit behind the massacre of a family of five; a dragonfly killing in an ancient forest, where a natural trap kills without a trace; and the murder of the wife of an only son from a family of musicians, where a kept man takes his pampering for granted and nearly loses his head...

After solving case after case, the mystery behind the strange power is finally revealed.
