When the Tang dynasty’s foremost coroner transmigrates into a modern forensic examiner who’s a good-for-nothing,
he uses a thousand years of criminal investigation wisdom to blow the modern field wide open!
Shen Zhui, a top coroner of the Tang dynasty, suddenly transmigrates into a forensic intern in 2026 who’s on the verge of being fired.
Unsolved cases abound in the modern world. Headless corpses and smiling corpses remain unexplained, while the experts are at a loss.
He pinches a bit of dirt and declares that the killer will return within three days:
“This is an old Tang custom for offering sacrifices to the river demon. Follow the ancient method, and we can catch the real culprit.”
With the autopsy verses from The Washing Away of Wrongs in his left hand and cutting-edge modern instruments in his right,
he upgrades silver-needle poison tests with nanoparticles and solves a locked-room murder using a secret Tang-era suicide technique.
The leading criminal investigators are left speechless, crying out that it’s a miracle!
- Lin Sa, the spirited captain of the women’s police squad: from kicking him off the team to falling for him bit by bit, she vows to solve cases by his side.
- Su Jianwei, the icy forensic pathologist: from mocking him as a charlatan to showing up at his door late at night, all she wants is to borrow his lifelong collection of secrets.
- Tang Wanqing, the beautiful owner in a qipao: she has waited a thousand years for the heir of the Bone Sect, hiding weapons in her fan to keep him safe.
Three stunning women, three fateful bonds, all part of the romantic fate he can’t escape.
But he never expected that the Tianshu Pavilion, which wiped out his family in his previous life, would cross a thousand years to return,
reviving Tang-era dark arts with modern technology. The enemy’s son lays a deadly trap in the city and invites him to a game with a smile.
Drones create ghost-fire formations, and big data runs the Washing Away of Wrongs algorithm.
Ancient methods are the soul, science the blade.
Shen Zhui smiles and raises his needle:
“In this life, just watch as our ancestors’ autopsy techniques drive modern criminal investigation mad!”
