Female lead: Xie Daoyun
He wakes up to find himself transmigrated into the body of a useless illegitimate son of the Langya Wang clan.
Even worse, a warm female corpse is sitting beside his bed. She was the beloved concubine of the powerful minister Huan Wen!
Outside, his cousin is leading a fully armed squad of soldiers, ready to break in and catch him in the act.
The effects of the Five-Stone Powder are still coursing through him, and he has a bloodstained dagger in his hand. From the start, this is a fatal, nightmarish predicament!
Wang Ning smiles.
As a top modern forensic pathologist and criminal psychologist, he knows that the dead make his best allies.
“You say I killed someone? Can lividity lie?”
“You say I raped her? Do the angles of the wounds match?”
He proves his innocence with an autopsy and finds the real killer by dissecting the evidence!
In the Wei and Jin dynasties, where “grace” is everything, he is an oddity, and a madman.
He tramples the prestige of the great clans and climbs, step by step, to the pinnacle of power.
