Bai Suzhen is dead.
She died in a ruined temple, drenched in torrential rain, her whole body burning with fever.
Until her dying breath, she kept saying, “I did nothing wrong.”
When Shen Guiwan wakes up, the original owner's memories flood her mind:
She was framed by the Second Concubine for hiding a lover, cast out of her home by her own father, and branded a “snake demon” by Fahai.
And she knows how this tragedy ends: at Leifeng Pagoda.
She lets out a cold laugh.
What Xu Xian? What demon suppression?
She is tearing up this script.
So...
The Second Concubine is having an affair? An anonymous letter goes to the Censorate.
Fahai wants to perform an exorcism? He can ask the Suzhou prefect whether he approves.
Her scumbag father comes begging for mercy? She stands by and watches him kneel.
Young Lord Liang presses her relentlessly. “Who are you, really?”
Shen Wantang says, “Someone who studied the law, understands chains of evidence, and transmigrated here to overturn this case.”

[One-line Pitch]
Transmigrated into Bai Suzhen's life and framed as a snake demon? No problem. I'll use the evidence to send every last one of them to prison.
