The Eerie Physician’s Verdict

On a stormy night, physician Lin Xi pried a brass ring engraved with the name of the current chancellor, Xie Cong, from the neck bone of a corpse in a mass grave. The engraving deliberately imitated the handwriting of her father, who had been falsely accused of treason and executed ten years ago.

At court, Xie Cong was hailed by the people as a pillar of the nation. In a shadowy alley, the strange powder left on the ring led to a secret military-industrial case.

Using her medical skills as a blade, Lin Xi cut through the hypocrisy of the powerful, only to discover that she had long been a living piece in someone else's game.

When a chain of forged evidence pointed to an old case of collusion with the enemy, Guo Youzhi, the iron-fisted official of the Ministry of Justice, handed her half a burned military weapons blueprint...

“You think the ring is the key to breaking this case?” Xie Cong ran his fingers over the cold jade ruyi. “It's nothing but a coffin nail I prepared for you.”
