On the day she was to be beheaded, she opened her eyes.
Beside her lay her own headless corpse. The townspeople around her were shouting, “Burn the witch!” Modern forensic pathologist Jiang Li lowered her gaze to the cut on her neck and silently took the butcher's boning knife.
“Where's the body? Where is the victim who supposedly died by my hand?”
She dissected the corpse in court and solved the case in less than an hour. From condemned prisoner to coroner, she used a knife to make the dead speak.
The powerful called her a witch. The common people called her a champion of justice. The obsessive prince fixed his gaze on her. “I need you.”
Without looking up, she replied, “What you need is someone who tells you what you want to hear, Your Highness. That isn't me.”
This is a story about her speaking with the dead. No romance, just autopsies and solving cases.
A female coroner in a prosperous era, she is focused on solving cases without getting involved in personal relationships. The plot is tight and fast-paced, the characters are well-developed, and the cases are exciting. You can't stop watching once you start. It is definitely worth watching!
