The Heiress Coroner Returns

His first case after transmigrating: performing an autopsy for the cold-faced King of Hell, then becoming his contractual princess consort. When she goes from a modern forensic pathologist to a discarded daughter in ancient times, her very first task is to “spend the night” with the most feared man in the capital, right in the middle of a public cheating scandal!
