After Becoming a Coroner, I Was Watched by the Assistant Minister

Starting from Chapter 20, the story will be behind a paywall on August 10. Thanks for your support!

Enter with caution: this is an early work. The blurb for my upcoming novel, Embracing the Sea of Stars, is at the bottom~

Modern forensic examiner Nan Li wakes up to find that she has transmigrated into a book. Her family has worked as coroners for the Dali Temple for generations, but the original owner's generation is about to bring the family business to an end: she faints at the sight of corpses and is afraid of blood. There is only one thing to do: return to her old profession.

No truth can stay hidden from her. She will investigate relentlessly until each case is solved, for the dead, for the truth, and for justice.

After running into a certain unlucky man surnamed Ye for the Nth time, Nan Li smiles and says, "Who told me this guy hated trouble? This man is trouble personified. How does he put up with himself?!"

One day, she comes to her senses and realizes that she, who has solved countless cases, has long since become entangled in a troublesome case called "love."

How did this happen...? He doesn't just solve cases, he also "commits crimes"!

Everyone knows that the Dali Temple has a famous junior minister who failed to show up for work on his very first day and has never appeared in public since. Everyone assumes he is just an official in name.

He himself says, "At least now I have a name people can put on the roster. That's not bad."

He's a man who hates trouble, with an astonishing memory and exceptional powers of deduction. Whenever a case comes his way, he wears an innocent expression, his bright, watery, almond-shaped eyes wide open, his whole face saying, "I'm just an idler. What does this have to do with me?"

Helpful Night Jingqi even tells visitors, "To get to the Dali Temple, turn left, right, right, then left. The junior minister's surname is Luo, so don't mistake him for anyone else~"

Luo Yihan: Heh.

One day, after a sensational case is solved, Night Jingqi gazes at Nan Li and says, "You've taken care of my only goal. So remember... you have to take responsibility for being my 'only' one."

Reading guide:

One-on-one romance, slow burn, both leads are each other's first and last, happy ending.

Mainly mystery cases. The leads are both smart, complement each other's thinking, and are dedicated to their work.

Sweet romance is always part of the story.

The male supporting characters love watching the drama unfold, and of course they'll help the couple along.

Embracing the Sea of Stars

1.

The public first heard of Lu Duosheng when he saved the day at an international exhibition, making a dazzling impression and preventing losses worth hundreds of millions.

Qi Hu first saw Lu Duosheng after he had taken off his halo and looked exhausted.

Her best friend from the translation department had often gone on and on about this famously chaste man in the industry. But Qi Hu's one extra glance caught Lu Duosheng's eye. He was standing right in front of her and looked at her in puzzlement.

Taking advantage of the mascot costume she was wearing, Qi Hu threw caution to the wind and suddenly gave him a big hug.

Under Lu Duosheng's stunned, shocked, and helpless gaze, she received a single "Thank you."

2.

Qi Hu is a junior designer trapped by a shady company. She never expected to become Lu Duosheng's client representative the very next day.

From small meetings to the grand stage of international exchanges, Lu Duosheng is always entrusted with everyone's hopes.

Yet only one person is willing to believe that she was the one who originally designed the work.

And only one person can tell that the dazzling chief interpreter isn't happy and feels lost.

3.

The man is dressed in a suit and tie, elegant and poised, his stern face betraying no emotion.

When he finishes work and gets home, he opens his arms to the girl, his smile warm.

"Give me a hug."

It takes 23 days to form a habit, and life has countless cycles of habit-forming.

From the very first turn of the gears, Lu Duosheng had already made a habit of loving you.
