The calm and rational forensic female widower vs the sinister and weak villain prince
Gu Qingci, the chief female forensic doctor in modern times, accidentally slipped into a supernatural romance novel that incorporated ancient elements of dog-blood, and became a vicious cannon fodder female partner with the same name and surname in the book, who was about to be killed by the male and female protagonists.
The beginning was hell mode - she was falsely accused of having an affair, brutally murdered, and was about to be condemned. In the original work, this was a trap set by the original male and female protagonists to eradicate her, and the real "murderer" was actually a vicious ghost.
Facing the desperate situation, Gu Qingci showed no fear. Using modern forensic knowledge as a spear and rigorous logical reasoning as a shield, she conducted an autopsy in public and used a scalpel to break through the disguise of "ghost murderer". She found out the man-made conspiracy and physical evidence hidden behind the supernatural phenomena. She successfully proved her innocence and slapped the original male and female protagonists in the face.
This move attracted the attention of the biggest villain in the book - Xiao Xuance, the king of the county who appears to be weak but is actually powerful. He was troubled by the endless bizarre cases in the country. Gu Qingci's unique ability of "being able to talk to the dead and bring peace to the injured souls" was just the sharp blade he needed.
The two formed an alliance, and Gu Qing resigned from his post in Dali Temple and became Xiao Xuance's exclusive "unofficial work". She examined the female ghost in red, investigated the murder of the fox fairy, and solved the zombie case in the General's Mansion... In repeated confrontations with "ghosts and gods", she discovered that the supernatural world is not false, but behind every ghost, there are obsessions and roots. She has no magic skills and no knowledge of metaphysics, but she can rely on her forensic knowledge to find the "physical anchor point" and "core of obsession" of ghosts, and "transfer" the souls from a scientific perspective, either to rest them in peace or to make them disappear.
