The Transmigration of Forensic Doctor Su Jinli

Modern forensic pathologist Su Jinli transmigrates into the body of an unloved concubine-born daughter in ancient times. From the start, she is trapped in a life-or-death crisis after being framed for poisoning the family matriarch. Using her professional knowledge of toxicology, she manages to save herself and discovers that the deaths of the original owner and her birth mother conceal a deeper secret. The mastermind is none other than the powerful Second Madam Liu.

To survive and take revenge, Su Jinli casts off the original owner's cowardice and uses modern knowledge to make her way through the household: she improves cosmetic formulas to gain financial leverage, allies herself with a concubine-born younger brother who is also being oppressed, and turns the tables on a scheme at a family banquet. Along the way, she meets the Seventh Prince, Xiao Che, who is pretending to be frail. United by a common enemy, the aristocratic clans, and similar circumstances as they secretly scheme, they form an alliance that grows from a wary exchange of favors into a meeting of kindred spirits.

As her investigation deepens, Su Jinli not only uncovers the truth about her mother's poisoning, but also learns that her father chose cold indifference and sacrifice for the sake of the family. After bringing Madam Liu down, she loses all hope in the rotten clan. In the end, she uses her father's political secrets as leverage in a shocking deal with him, giving up everything in exchange for her freedom and successfully leaving the Su household.

Now free, Su Jinli begins a new life as an independent head of household. She continues to put her expertise to use and joins forces with Xiao Che, now a rising political star, to resolve the imperial succession crisis. By the story's end, the Su family has fallen and the realm has been pacified. Su Jinli chooses to leave for Jiangnan, while Xiao Che relinquishes his power and follows her. At the starting point of their new lives, they find a future that truly belongs to them, full of endless possibilities.
