Bone Whispers and Red Makeup: The Great Chu County Lady's Case Files

Shen Zhiwei, a top modern forensic pathologist, dies in the line of duty and unexpectedly transmigrates into the infamous “love-struck” county princess of the Great Chu Empire. Yet beneath that delicate, breathtakingly beautiful exterior now resides the soul of a fiercely rational materialist. She uses the scientific proof that “livor mortis never lies” to deliver a brutal face-slapping blow to everyone around her, and unexpectedly catches the attention of Xiao Yan, a cold-faced regent with power over the court and an extreme aversion to dirt. The Great Chu Empire loses a lovesick laughingstock and gains a “forensic machine” who leaves murderers trembling in her wake. From the lotus blooming beside the bones in a dry well in the imperial palace, to the terrifying headless demon stalking the outskirts of the capital, to a strange bioengineered plague erupting on the border... Faced with one baffling, earth-shaking case after another, Shen Zhiwei ignores superstition and takes up her scalpel, using anthropology, toxicology, and bloodstain pattern analysis to crack each case. At her side are a battle-hardened father who dotes on her and would buy out every butcher in the city just to give her pigs to experiment on, along with an entire squad of brothers who spoil their little sister. And there is also the “devoted wife-guarding man” of a regent, who goes from looking at her with disdain to falling completely for her, even delivering a black-iron scalpel in the dead of night as a betrothal gift. As dark currents swirl through the court and an extraordinary villain’s shocking scheme comes to light, scalpel and black-iron greatsword form the strongest alliance. Watch as this powerhouse forensic couple uses the overwhelming power of science to crush superstition and cut through layer upon layer of fog, carving out a legend of peace and prosperity amid a decade-long game of power!
