The Heiress Sleuth: I Win the Imperial Court with My Forensic Skills

A modern forensic pathologist transmigrates into the body of an unwanted bride destined for a ghost marriage. She fires back with an autopsy report: “Your Highness, this wasn’t an accident. It was murder.”

Su Mu, one of the finest forensic pathologists of the modern age, wakes up as the disgraced legitimate daughter of the Right Chancellor’s household, framed by her half-sister.

Her reputation in tatters and her family fallen on hard times, she is shoved into a bridal sedan and sent off to marry a corpse.

Everyone is waiting to see her die without a body left behind.

Instead, she tears apart the bridal sedan, kicks open the gates of the underworld, then heads straight to the Regent’s manor to apply for a position as coroner.

At the interview, a nameless corpse supposedly drowned stumps every veteran coroner in the city. She crouches down, probes with a silver needle, and reconstructs the entire crime in three minutes:

“There’s poison in the stomach, the windpipe is dry, and there are ligature marks on the back of the neck. The victim was strangled, then dumped. The killer was five feet eight, right-handed, and pretending to be left-handed. Disagree? Prove me wrong!”

The room falls silent.

Leaning against the doorframe is Mo Lanxu, the unhinged Regent who holds the court in his grasp. Amusement swirls in his eyes. “Now that’s interesting.”

Without even looking up, she snaps back, “Your Highness, you’re sick enough to be on your deathbed. You still have time to meddle in my affairs?”

From then on, the Great Sheng Dynasty has a new “golden coroner” whom nobody dares to cross.

While others guess their way through autopsies, she relies on modern forensic science: bloodstain analysis, toxicology, psychological profiling, and crime-scene reconstruction. Every bizarre case is a piece of cake for her.

The powerful make trouble for her? One autopsy report, and you’re going straight to prison!

The court frames someone? She clears the case with hard evidence, leaving the whole court in shock!

Everyone fears the hands she uses to examine corpses. Mo Lanxu is the only one who falls harder every time she mouths off to him.

He claims, “I’m only keeping her here to investigate…”
