Chen Yan, a forensic science PhD, suddenly finds himself transported to the Tang Dynasty, where he wakes up as a death-row prisoner awaiting execution! His original body belonged to a timid, hidebound man who was framed for murdering his master after discovering the affair between the mistress of the house and the steward. With no way to clear his name, he was doomed.
The executioner’s ghost-headed blade was already raised, but Chen Yan only smiled. A rare poison from the Western Regions in his body? It came from the same source as the family patriarch’s! The eldest son’s true parentage? Ever heard of the bone-drip test? Drawing on modern forensic knowledge, he overturned the case in court and stunned Chang’an.
From then on, armed with the Divine Investigation System and forensic techniques from the future, he shook up the political world of the Zhenguan era. Bones cried out for justice, corpses revealed their killers, and no crime could escape his notice.
He took Di Renjie as his disciple and took charge of the Tang Dynasty’s criminal justice system. Princess Changle fell for him, Princess Gaoyang pursued him relentlessly, and Wu Meiniang carried on a secret affair with him... Caught between beautiful women and political intrigue, he climbed higher with every step.
From a condemned prisoner at the execution ground to the emperor’s tutor, from an ordinary commoner to a man wielding power across the court. When he stood at the summit of power and looked down upon this flourishing age, everyone who had framed or looked down on him was already prostrate at his feet, trembling in fear!
The Tang Code? I, Chen Yan, am the law!
