The Coroner

(A face-loving, goofy bottom! A face-loving, goofy bottom! A face-loving, goofy bottom! It's important, so I'm saying it three times!) Chu Yuyang has two wishes: First, to graduate from university and become a civil servant. Second, to eat a “normal” lunch. Chu Yuyang is a student of Chinese language and literature at a forensic investigation campus. The cafeteria is practically a crime scene: braised humerus, salt-and-pepper ulna, spicy rib cartilage... Just as Chu Yuyang was racking his brains over how to have a stress-free lunch, he transmigrated into the body of a coroner and began living on fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, along with the morgue. So much for the promised secure civil service job: his boss was exploitative, his pay was too low, and he had no labor protections. He was constantly dragged into cases, big and small, and his life was always in danger. Most importantly, the job had nothing to do with his field of study. It couldn't be better! Everyone says Mr. Chu is wise but unassuming, learned and brilliant, a hidden dragon in the mountains who was demoted to be a coroner in the middle of nowhere after offending the powerful. Prince Duan, desperate to recruit talented people, plans to visit him three times and invite him to become an adviser. But when the prince finally meets the coroner, he realizes that the man is... a little different from the rumors. Chu Yuyang rises from coroner to a third-rank official at the Court of Judicial Review, advancing smoothly while holding on to his secure job. He even helps Prince Duan ascend the throne, becoming the most powerful official in the land and enjoying boundless prestige. Zhao Xingduan: Want to climb a little higher? Chu Yuyang: You want me to be prime minister? Zhao Xingduan: I want you to be my empress. Apparently, a reading guide is needed: 1. Alternate world + mystery and deduction 2. Not a power couple! A face-loving, lively bottom! 3. Lighthearted + 1v1 + happy ending 4. Multiple couples Theme:
