When she fell off the cliff, the Crown Prince was busy mourning his dead white moonlight.
Liu Fuwei was the substitute for the Crown Prince, Xiao Lingjin’s, white moonlight. Once her mission was complete, he shoved her into the bottomless abyss, leaving no trace of her remains. As she teetered on the brink of death, a cold voice boomed in her mind: [World collapsing... Want to live? Then there’s only one way: disrupt this deadlocked fate!] Armed with the soul of a modern forensic examiner and an autopsy manual forcibly supplied by the System, she used the “fresh” corpse of an unknown man at the foot of the cliff as her ticket in, boldly activating “Fate Exchange” and escaping death in the icy river.
Her severed arm had barely healed when a thug tried to assault her. She used the Crown Prince’s bloodstained jade pendant as a weapon and her precise anatomical knowledge as a threat, then fearlessly killed him in self-defense! Dragging her battered body into a remote border town, she used her astonishing bone-reading skills to identify the true culprit behind the “accidental” death of the prefect’s beloved concubine: the man who shared her bed. When she overturned the coroner’s autopsy report and made indistinct flesh “speak” beneath her fingertips, the unsolved case was cracked, leaving the whole city stunned.
By solving this case and clearing her name through an autopsy, she escaped the wanted posters and won herself a chance to live. When Xiao Lingjin’s lackeys caught up with her, she cut open yet another corpse he had sent as a “substitute” for the woman he loved, her gaze cold as a blade. “Your Highness, look closely. Is this how your beloved is supposed to die?” The whole city erupted!
She wanted no false pity. She wanted a place to stand! The title of female coroner shattered the chains of feudal society, and countless women who had been ignored and kept captive flocked to her humble thatched hut. With a willow-leaf knife in one hand, she dissected corpses to seek justice for the living. With a teaching whip in the other, she founded the Institute of Natural Studies to teach women how to stand on their own.
