Su Xiao, a modern graduate student in criminal investigation, transmigrates into the daughter of an ancient coroner and gets caught up in a bride's mysterious death from the start. When the cold, aloof constable Lu Yanzhi is about to lock her up, she blurts out, “Secure the crime scene,” “Conduct an autopsy and gather evidence,” and “Build an evidence chain,” leaving the people of the past completely baffled. Lu Yanzhi: Is this girl crazy? Su Xiao: You're the crazy one, your whole family is crazy!
One is a sweet, adorable transmigrator with a “champion of the rule of law” living inside her; the other is an arrogant constable who seems cold and aloof but is actually a hopeless romantic. They conduct autopsies together, solve cases together, and even cling to each other when they're afraid of ghosts
Until one day, Su Xiao is kidnapped, and Lu Yanzhi kneels in the snow, offering his official position in exchange for her: “Let her go. Take my life instead.”
Barely conscious, Su Xiao still mutters, “Are you stupid? I left clues...”
The case is solved, and the powerful prince is brought to justice. Everyone assumes Su Xiao will follow Lu Yanzhi to the capital and become an official's wife. Instead, she pulls out a “Qing'an County Forensic Laboratory Plan.” “You go to the capital and uphold justice. I'll stay here and turn Qing'an into the Great Chu's criminal investigation hub.”
Without a second thought, Lu Yanzhi submits a request for reassignment: “Wherever you are, that's where I'll solve cases.” On their wedding night, the two are still discussing case files.
Su Xiao: Lu Yanzhi, do you love me, or do you love my crime-solving skills? Lu Yanzhi: (ears burning red) Both are you.
This is the story of a transmigrated heroine who uses modern knowledge to outsmart ancient unsolved cases, and, along the way, wins the heart of an arrogant constable. A sweet and satisfying mystery, with episodic cases and an overarching plot: every case brings a cute moment and brings them closer.
