In her previous life, she was the nation’s top female forensic pathologist. In an instant, she became a condemned prisoner facing confiscation of her family’s assets and exile!
From the start, she was shackled and trudging through a frozen wasteland, while corrupt officials made things difficult at every turn and framed her with fabricated evidence.
Chu Jingxue kicked over the prison cart. “I’m done being a condemned prisoner!” Everyone thought she was doomed in the face of the perfect chain of evidence fabricated by the crooked officials.
Holding a homemade scalpel, Chu Jingxue cut open the victim’s chest in full view of the entire city!
“Undigested food remains in the victim’s stomach. The time of death couldn’t possibly have been the hour of the Rat, as you claim!”
She pressed forward step by step, every word hitting home. With airtight medical reasoning, she tore away the corrupt officials’ facade right there and sent the presiding magistrate to prison!
In just a few months, she cracked fifteen ironclad cases and established a coroner’s academy in the place of exile, earning renown across the land.
Whether they were high-ranking officials or members of the imperial family, anyone who wanted to know the cause of a death had to kneel at her door and kowtow!
The cold-blooded judicial commissioner, who had once despised her and even ordered her to be investigated, fell completely for the composed, calculating look in her eyes as she performed autopsies.
On a snowy night, this powerful man, whose authority reached across the court, cast aside all his pride and knelt outside her academy, begging her desperately:
“Jingxue, come back to the capital with me. I’ll give you my position as judicial commissioner!”
Chu Jingxue turned away coldly. “Get lost. You’re blocking me from investigating a family massacre!”
