Synopsis

On the first day of her imperial appointment to investigate the case, a jade pendant worn close to the body by the only living princess in the empire, missing for three years, is found hidden beneath the prosthetic skin on the corpse's cheek. The Minister of Justice slams his gavel. “Forging a royal token is punishable by death!”

Shen Qingtong tears away the skin on the other side of the corpse's face in front of everyone, revealing a tattoo from the enemy nation to the north.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard commander, who has been watching coldly from the sidelines, suddenly draws his sword and points it at her.

“Three years ago, the princess, a supporter of peace, was ambushed. Your father, a hawk who favored war, was defeated and died for his country soon afterward.”

“Now a royal token has been found on a spy from the enemy nation. Shen, the coroner, are you trying to reopen the case, or are you seeking revenge?”

Shen Qingtong was a coroner, but a case entangled her in the mystery surrounding the princess... and this was only the beginning...

Looking for a Great Book So Gripping I Won't Skip a Single Chapter

Modern romance, with an unconventional plot and a sweet tone (a little angst is fine). No one being reborn, and preferably no mistresses or unattainable dream girls. Most importantly, it has to be complete 😂
