The soul of a modern forensic doctor penetrates the daughter of the guilty minister, and the cold-faced waiter forces her to sign a three-year marriage contract - this transactional marriage hides a shocking secret that can overturn the country!
Lu Zhaohua opened his eyes and was reborn, becoming the ninth-grade coroner of the Ministry of Punishments. His father "hanged himself" due to a fraud case in the imperial examination, but the purple mark on his neck revealed the truth of the suicide. In order to find out the real culprit, she was forced to sign a marriage contract with the sickly servant Pei Yan, but on their wedding night, she discovered that he had a portrait of the former queen hidden in his study. The iron pen in his sleeve could seal the throat with a sword!
"Article 1 of the contract: Pretend to be affectionate in front of others, and investigate each case behind others."
"The last clause of the contract: If you violate this contract, you will live or die!"
Duan Wang's Buddhist beads were engraved with the candidates' names, the pipa played by the brothel courtesan hid the Morse code, and the Hexin wine given by the Queen Mother was quenched with heart-corrosive poison... When modern trace examination technology collided with ancient power schemes, Lu Zhaohua performed an autopsy and examined the bones, uncovering the shady story of the imperial examination, but it led to the mystery of usurping the throne twenty years ago - the royal birthmark under Pei Yan's collarbone was actually connected to the blood of the tyrant on the dragon throne!
The fake couple went to the killing station together, but the real contract created a secret love. She blocked the poisonous cold arrow for him, and he pointed his sword at the Nine-Five Lord for her. When the countdown to the marriage contract reached zero, and the edict was stained with blood in the Jinluan Palace, only then did we realize that this contractual marriage was the most ruthless chess piece in the late emperor's edict...
