The rules of the Dasheng Dynasty were strict, work was a man's world, and it was taboo for women to show themselves in public, let alone touch "unclean" bodies. But I {Su Qingyuan} decided to break this rule - my father was an old man who was unjustly killed. I hid his autopsy notes and spent three years in Yi Zhuang. With my ability of "distinguishing bones to identify causes, smelling blood and cutting off poisons", I managed to squeeze my way through the crowd of men.
A bride in the capital died suddenly on her wedding day. Everyone said it was because of "an evil attack." However, I found out from the silver shavings between her fingernails and the pale blue marks behind her ears that she was poisoned and faked an accident. As soon as this unjust case was overturned, the regent {Xiao Jue} blocked her in the morgue. His ink robe was stained with frost, and his eyes were as cold as ice: "A woman's autopsy is unbecoming of a woman. Get out of the capital by me."
I sneered, opened the clothes of the corpse, and pointed at the slight cracks in the ribs: "Your Majesty, look carefully. This is an oblique injury caused by the knife held in the right hand. The murderer must be left-handed. Do you want to care about catching the murderer, or do you care whether I wear a skirt or pants?"
From then on, there were more strange scenes in murder cases in the capital: a cold female widow squatted next to the corpse and pulled out the bones, and the cold-faced regent stood beside and handed tweezers; some people called me "immoral", and I swollen their faces based on the autopsy report; someone was plotting against my life, and I used clues to find out the real culprit behind the scenes.
{Xiao Jue} From the initial "Women are not allowed to marry", to the later "Qing Yuan, I won't worry if you don't see this case", to the warm soup delivered from the morgue late at night: "The autopsy is cold, don't freeze it." I realized later - this cold-faced prince seemed to want to talk to me not only about "the secret of the corpse", but also about "our future"?
