Synopsis

[Set in ancient times] [Mystery and crime solving] [Episodic] [Focused on investigating strange cases] [Clever characters] [No System, no golden finger]

Song Nianci was born into a family of forensic examiners. The trade had been passed down from father to son since ancient times, never to daughters. But misfortune never comes singly: hers was a generation with only one daughter. To keep the family business from dying out, her grandfather came up with a plan: find a husband to marry into the family.

But forensic examination was considered a lowly profession. Anyone who married the daughter of a forensic examiner was destined to be barred from earning an official title, as would their descendants. With no other choice, the family broke the rule against passing the trade to daughters and taught their skills in examining corpses to the girl.

From then on, Song Nianci became the black-faced female demon of Zhenhe Pass. The town's villagers both respected her and considered her an ill omen.

Yet her skills in examining corpses were the best in the entire Song family. No matter how complicated a case or how bizarre the cause of death, she could find the answer in the body.

Cases such as the Netherworld Spirit Ship Case and the Banyan Tree Mummy Case were solved thanks to her exceptional forensic skills.

And so Song Nianci, the female demon of Zhenhe Pass, officially began her career as an outstanding female forensic examiner.

Ideally an infinite-flow story with puzzles and undercover moles to uncover. The logic should be solid, with no characters acting stupid just to move the plot along. Romance is fine, but the main focus should be the protagonist’s career, with romance as just a little seasoning.
