How do you survive after transmigrating into the body of an older unmarried woman in ancient times who’s being forced to wed? Yun Qi whips out a scalpel and uses modern forensic techniques to qualify as a coroner! She has one reason: Great Chu law exempts anyone in the lowly profession of coroner from all forced marriages!
Yun Qi, a top modern forensic pathologist, transmigrated into the body of an unlucky woman whose vicious stepmother had sold her to a fool. To stay single, she promptly exploited a loophole in ancient law and became the county’s ill-omened female coroner, someone everyone avoided.
The Great Chu dynasty was rife with superstition, and the powerful treated human lives like grass. The top-ranked candidate in the imperial exams supposedly hanged himself in a locked room, while a vice minister of war supposedly burst into flames as divine punishment. Everyone thought Yun Qi, a lowly and helpless woman, would be dragged into the conspiracy and used as cannon fodder.
Sorry, my lord, times have changed! “The ligature marks on the neck don’t cross, so the body was hung after death! White phosphorus catches fire when exposed to air. That’s basic chemistry!” Yun Qi gave a cold laugh and launched a forensic assault from a whole new level. With nothing but a scalpel, she unraveled locked-room murders and a prince’s rebellion, turning the ancient courtroom into a full-blown lesson in the law! Scientific evidence slapped every villain in the face, leaving the entire court trembling in fear.
She’d only wanted to use her skills to coast along in peace. Who knew she’d accidentally dig up the imperial family’s ancestral graves, then use skeletal DNA to discover that she was the true princess lost among the common people?! On the palace dais, dressed in imperial robes and twirling a leaf-shaped scalpel, Yun Qi smiled. “My ministers, from now on, conduct yourselves according to scientific principles at court. Anyone who dares deceive the throne or conceal the truth will get a full autopsy from me personally!”
