1.

Jing Tao is the "Gunpowder Rose" who has taken the forensic world by storm. She fights for the living and speaks for the dead.

After a criminal investigation takes an unexpected turn, she transmigrates into a book and becomes a little coroner, a disposable nobody whom everyone at the county office can bully.

The little coroner was abandoned as a child and is terrible at her job. She is terrified of corpses, faints at the sight of blood, and even makes glaring mistakes in basic autopsies.

She doesn't have enough to eat or wear, and is on the verge of losing her job. Her living conditions are dreadful.

Jing Tao, who only wanted to lie low and coast through life: ...You asked for this.

Dissect a corpse? Examine bones? Solve cold cases?

Sorry, let me show you what it means for a max-level player to massacre a beginner's village.

2.

The little coroner ranks last in her first annual performance review, and the prefectural office wants her gone.

Everyone at the office waits to see her make a fool of herself. They never expect that the following year, her skills at dissecting corpses and examining bones will make her famous throughout the capital.

The rich and powerful ask her to speak for the dead, while princes and ministers ask her to clear the names of the living.

And standing behind the little coroner is a man who makes the entire Great Xi Dynasty tremble in fear.

3.

Above, he serves the emperor; below, he oversees the Court of Judicial Review and its prisons.

The cunning, wickedly charming Gu Huaiyan wields great power at court, but he's also a notorious flirt.

When they first meet, he sees that Jing Tao is of humble birth, but also that she's lovely and graceful. He decides to toy with her.

Gu Huaiyan: That's right. I just want to play.

Later, he watches her in her moon-white robes.

From a maggot on a skeleton, she accurately deduces the time of death. From a trace of diatoms, she finds the original crime scene. From a bloodstain, she exposes the suspect's false alibi...

Gu Huaiyan: Getting face-slapped... really does feel great.

Before you start:

1. The main focus is solving mysteries and deductive reasoning, with romance and sweet moments on the side. Happy ending.
