The Flower Forensic Doctor's Culinary Casebook

[Full manuscript completed] A modern forensic pathologist and criminal psychology expert transmigrates, and before she can even figure out what’s going on, she’s mistaken for a murderer.

On Hua Linlang’s first day in this world, a headless male corpse is discovered in the hills behind Han County. The victim is her cousin.

Suspect Hua: “…”

No big deal. Since she’s here, she might as well examine the body first.

The headless corpse case, the scholar’s bizarre disappearance, a body found at the bottom of the river…

In little Han County, one case after another lands right in her lap.

While everyone else steers clear, she welcomes them all, avenging wrongs and seeking justice for the wronged.

And so Hua Linlang goes from prime suspect to coroner renowned for solving cases like a god.

A woman of many talents, she examines corpses, starts making money with a restaurant, and charms handsome men along the way.

As the ancients say, those who rely on their looks lose favor when their beauty fades.

Linlang adds: When your looks fade, find someone new!

Speaking of handsome men, the newly appointed county magistrate Zhang Huai is truly elegant, wealthy, and very generous.

When they first meet, he watches her with wary eyes, while she patiently unravels the clues before him and pinpoints the key to the case.

From then on, she examines the bodies while he solves the cases. A match made in heaven.

But Magistrate Zhang soon realizes that this excessively beautiful coroner seems to have ulterior motives where he’s concerned.

To get to the truth, he decides to make himself part of her game, even going so far as to flaunt his charms and lure her in.

But by the time he’s fallen for her, he discovers that Hua has long since lost the enthusiasm she had when they first met.

Magistrate Zhang grits his teeth. “Not enough? Then I’ll try harder!”

Bonus scene:

Watching her profile as she examines a corpse, he asks softly, “Linlang, can your world hold anything besides cases and money?”

Hua: “Like what?”

Zhang Huai: “Me.”

Hua: “Get lost.”

Zhang Huai: “See you later.”

The male lead talks himself into falling in love.

At first: “She must have some ulterior motive.”

Later: “Why don’t you make me your target? I have my own merits.”

Reader’s guide:

A bold, money-loving forensic heroine × a male lead who falls for her all on his own. Both leads are each other’s only partners, happy ending.

A case-of-the-week mystery with equal focus on plot and romance. The cases are adapted from real cases, but please don’t read too much into them.
