Modern forensic expert Su Wan is assassinated during an international case and is reborn as Shen Qingci, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister in the Great Yan dynasty. Once poisoned into idiocy by her stepmother, publicly rejected by her fiancé, and mocked by the entire capital as a “useless girl,” she now brings modern forensic knowledge and criminal-investigation skills to her new life. With a scalpel in her left hand, she solves wrongful convictions; with poison in her right, she takes down her enemies. From the prime minister's household to the front lines of court, she makes her way through a trail of blood.
Everyone thinks she will use her medical skills to heal the sick, but instead she uses one shocking unsolved case after another to bring powerful nobles crashing down. When people assume she means to curry favor with the powerful, she has already been quietly building her own intelligence network and business empire. Why does the famously ruthless and cold-blooded Prince of War always “happen” to appear whenever she investigates a case?
“Miss Shen, perhaps only you can solve this old case of mine...”
