Transmigration: She Rules the Realm Through Forensic Medicine

Su Wanwan, a leading forensic anthropologist of the twenty-first century, is blasted into the body of an ancient coroner's daughter in an explosion. When she wakes, her stepmother is selling her off as a second wife to a widower more than fifty years old.

On her wedding night, the groom collapses dead before her. As the guests panic, Su Wanwan crouches down, dips her fingertip in the still-wet blood, and calmly says, “The wound on the back of the deceased's head has a radiating pattern, and there isn't enough blood loss. This isn't where the crime took place.”

With one sentence, she goes from a low-status orphan about to be sold off to the only female coroner in the Jingzhao Prefecture Office.

From then on, a veiled figure carrying a silver knife appears at every strange crime scene in the capital. She dissects rotting corpses, examines bones, identifies poisons, and makes the dead speak, forcing the living to confess and face justice. The name “Ghost-Hand Coroner” is enough to stop children crying at night, yet it makes the powerful tremble.

Until one rainy night, Xiao Jue, the Regent who holds power over the court, comes to see her in person. After sending everyone else away, he tells her six words:

“The late emperor was murdered.”

Su Wanwan looks up and meets his deep, fathomless eyes. Suddenly, she understands: every set of bones she has examined may point to the same secret. And that secret is enough to overturn the entire realm.

All she wanted was to make a place for herself through examining corpses. Instead, she accidentally uncovered the truth behind the imperial throne.
