Slow-to-realize, lustful sister-in-law x bratty rich girl x gloomy female ghost
"Love triangle" Main plot: steamy romance "Side plot: historical mystery cases"
Before transmigrating, the sister-in-law was a forensic pathologist. In the new world, she'll have a career arc as a strong female lead.
Shen Ruanning woke up to find she'd transmigrated to a baffling era.
"A thousand-household commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard has died in the line of duty!"
Her unlucky previous self had been twenty-six years old. She was dead.
Shen Ruanning became the second son of the Duan family’s second wife.
The second child, Duan Ciyu, was a troublesome rich girl who got on everyone's nerves. For most of her life, she'd hated her sister-in-law for demanding that she behave properly in everything she did.
She climbed over the wall to fly a kite, and her sister-in-law whipped her with a thorny branch. Annoying.
She set off firecrackers in the stable, and her sister-in-law made her kneel in the ancestral hall. Annoying.
This time, she was determined to make her sister-in-law angry. She ran two shops into the ground, got into a fight with a gang, then swaggered over to ask for punishment.
Duan Ciyu knelt, her expression defiant and unruly. "Sister-in-law, please enforce the family rules."
But her wicked sister-in-law had changed. She gently stroked her, her soft fingers brushing the bloody wound at the corner of her lips:
"Well done."
Duan Ciyu stared at her sister-in-law, whose speech and clothes had both turned strange. Her gaze grew feverish and obsessed.
"Why aren't you hitting me anymore, Sister-in-law?" Duan Ciyu pressed closer, her voice low and brooding.

The Duan family's third daughter, Duan Mingzhu, loved her sister-in-law dearly. She respected and admired her, watched the sister-in-law's wavering gentleness, and constantly longed for a glimpse of her favor.
Then one day, her sister-in-law suddenly seemed like a different person.
Her sister-in-law said she wanted to divorce her second sister.
Her sister-in-law smashed the statue in the Buddhist shrine and said to get rid of this world's stupid rules.
Duan Mingzhu didn't quite understand what she meant.
But if her sister-in-law wasn't getting married, Duan Mingzhu knew her chance had come.
Her sister-in-law was different now, with a proud, aloof gaze. Duan Mingzhu loved her so much, so much.
She wanted to "serve" her sister-in-law for the rest of her life.
