She comes from a family of forensic examiners, with the art of examining corpses passed down through generations. She followed her father in examining bodies from childhood, and by the age of twelve could determine a cause of death from fragments of bone. When a string of murders took place in the area and the county magistrate was at a loss, she solved the case in three days. Her fame spread, and people from all over the country came to her for postmortem examinations. Then one day, the palace sent her a corpse. It was the Empress Dowager. After examining it, she discovered that the cause of death was... poisoning, and the poison had come from the emperor.
