#Strong Female Lead #Face-slapping #Court Intrigue #Mystery #Feel-good Story
Lu Wanyin transmigrates and becomes the only useless daughter of the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review.
According to the Great Yuan ancestral code, legitimate heirs must pass the “Ninefold Law Examination” by the age of eighteen. Fail, and the entire family is executed.
The Grand Secretariat’s chief councilor schemes in secret, the governor of the capital closes in at every turn, and even Pei Yunzheng, the imperial secret police chief who serves as the emperor’s attack dog, is waiting to watch the Lu family fall from grace.
Facing a hopeless situation, Lu Wanyin quietly puts on her gut-skin gloves and picks up a butcher’s knife... No, a scalpel.
For her first examination, she investigates a corpse found floating in the city moat, performs an autopsy in public, and humiliates the chief councilor’s faction;
When the crown prince falls suddenly ill, she uses a steel needle to extract the poison, forcing every quack in the Imperial Medical Academy to kneel as one;
In a headless murder case at the Jiangnan tribute examination hall, she uses a smear of red clay on the sole of a shoe to send a corrupt local official straight to the execution block! (More to come)
One baffling cold case after another is ruthlessly solved by her, and every conspiracy is crushed beneath hard evidence.
What happened to that supposed good-for-nothing? She’s clearly a living legend who solves cases like a god!
When she finally takes the seat of Chief Justice, the secret police chief who holds power over the entire court voluntarily hands over his saber and pulls her into his arms. “My Lady Lu, I’ll handle the assassins and fend off the political schemes. You just focus on examining corpses.”
Lu Wanyin: “...First, take your hand off my waist!”
