Has the Heir Apparent Solved a Case Today?

Everyone knows that Chu Mingyi, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Wei, is a miracle healer from Medicine King Valley, whose golden needles can revive the dead.

No one knows that she is also a master coroner, able to judge the boundary between life and death through an examination of the body.

On the day she returns to the capital in mourning, the city's nobles await the spectacle of an orphan's downfall.

Instead, Xiao Yan, heir to the Prince of Jingbei, arrives beneath the moonlight with a bloodied sword and drops to one knee before everyone. “Junior sister, your senior brother is late.”

He was once the senior brother she revered most at Medicine King Valley. Now he is the powerful commander of the Northern Pacification Bureau.

He shields her from every demon and fiend, has coffins reopened for new examinations, and offers her the realm as his bride price, promising to stand by her side for life.

After they marry:

She uses golden needles to heal the living and a silver blade to examine the bones of the dead.

He oversees the prisons and restores order at court, wielding his sword to keep her safe.

By day, they are a detective duo feared by criminals.

“Madam, can you see anything suspicious about this corpse?”

“The deceased has something wrong beneath the fingernails. This wasn't suicide by hanging, but murder. Husband, time to arrest someone.”

Late at night, he is the devoted husband who warms her hands and helps her apply makeup.

“You examined another corpse today? Go bathe first.”

“Are you disgusted by me, husband?”

“I worry about you. Next time, I'll examine the body for you.”

From the Duke's wrongful conviction to mysteries in the palace, from long-unsolved cases to shocking conspiracies,

she uses medicine to cut through the fog, while he clears away every obstacle with his power.
