The Records of Soul Appraisals by Lamplight

It's finally finished! A quick announcement: it's going premium!

There will be bonus chapters too!

A modern mortuary cosmetologist heroine x a Deputy Minister of the Court of Judicial Review with a mysterious past

The heroine transmigrates into this world as a soul guide, able to ferry the souls of the dead and fulfill the wishes of the living.

Her abilities grow from seeing souls, to guiding them, to controlling them. The hero has a special background, as the product of a villain's design and upbringing.

If souls are a kind of energy that can be used to travel through time and space, what kind of person can use them properly?

The villain is a mad scientist who transmigrated from the modern world into the past. There is more than one transmigrator in the story.

There are some mildly graphic descriptions of corpses, but nothing scary, so read without worry~~

1. Lin Su, a modern mortuary cosmetologist who can see souls, transmigrates to the present day in the Great Yuan dynasty and becomes a murder suspect.

At the crime scene, Shen Yan, the cold and handsome Deputy Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, points his sword at her nose.

Dragged into the case, Lin Su decides to clear her name.

"I specialize in preparing the dead for burial. If you don't mind, Lord Shen, I'd like to take a look at the deceased. Maybe I can pick up a job once I've cleared my name."

"Lady Lin, since you don't know the deceased, how did you know that the body wasn't the person it appeared to be?"

Holding an ivory comb and looking at the dead person's soul standing across from her, Lin Su is at a loss. Can she really say that the deceased told her?

Shen Yan watches her closely, growing suspicious.

Because she can see souls, Lin Su gets dragged into a series of cases.

A faceless corpse, a celestial maiden, a locked-room murder: one baffling case after another.

Each case is closely connected to a mysterious organization called the Longevity Pavilion.

Xu Daocheng, the leader of the Longevity Pavilion, turns out to be a transmigrator too!

"Lin Su, I chose you carefully. Isn't this world fascinating? Here, I can conduct all kinds of experiments that I couldn't do in my old world. I can do whatever I want!"

Lin Su's pupils contracted. "You're a lunatic! What are you after?"

"You'll find out when the time comes, once you're mature enough."

When Lin Su saw Shen Yan risk his life to save her, she could no longer deny her feelings for him.

Shen Yan was perfect: clever, attentive, and unconditionally trusting of her.

Who wouldn't want a sweet romance, especially in a strange world where she had no one to rely on?

But Lin Su never expected that the day their love reached its peak would be the day it suddenly disappeared.

"I'm sorry, but do we have some kind of relationship?" Shen Yan looked at her with unfamiliar eyes.

2. From the first time Shen Yan saw her, he felt that this woman was different from everyone else.

As a suspect found at a murder scene, she was far too calm.

"Lord Shen, if you don't mind, may I look at the body?"

Faced with a corpse without a face, she restored it perfectly and explained the cause of death in great detail.

Shen Yan was curious. Could an ordinary hairdresser really have some hidden ability?

When he discovered she could see souls, Shen Yan decided to keep her by his side. It would make her easier to watch over, and also...

"You have no idea how many people wish they had an ability like yours!"

"Lord Shen, a soul's words can't be taken as the whole truth of a case!"

Shen Yan was angry and frustrated. He had his own motives too. There was someone he wanted to find.

Everyone called the Deputy Minister of the Court of Judicial Review cold and merciless, but he had weaknesses no one knew about.

"Shen Yan, Shen Yan, look at me. It's okay. Take a deep breath. Nothing bad is going to happen!"

In a pitch-black, enclosed cave, Shen Yan curled up into a ball. He could hardly breathe, his whole body trembled, and cold sweat ran down his face.

At his most helpless, a beam of light shone in. Lin Su's warm embrace and gentle voice soothed his fear.

The formidable Deputy Minister of the Court of Judicial Review had a childhood steeped in bloodshed.

After his family was massacred and his mother disappeared, he had been trying to uncover the truth ever since.

Lin Su helped him solve cases, adventured alongside him, and supported him with gentle determination.

How could he not love a woman like that, even knowing she came from a completely different world?

In a palace engulfed in flames, Shen Yan was wounded and poisoned.

"Susu, hurry and go! Don't worry about me!"

They had believed their hearts were bound together and they would face death side by side. How could he forget her at the very moment he loved her most?

After forgetting and remembering her once more, Shen Yan's head throbbed as if it would split. "Lin Su, I'm so sorry! This is too much for you to bear!"

"Are you giving up?" Lin Su's voice was cold. "I haven't given up on you, so why are you giving up on me?"

"I... I just think this is asking too much of you."

"You're not the only one suffering! I am too! Today you tell me you love me, and tomorrow you've forgotten me!" Tears fell from Lin Su's eyes. "I've endured this for so long. I've decided that even if you forget me ten thousand times, I'll make you remember me ten thousand times!"

"I know, but this is painful for both of us!" Seeing Lin Su's tears made Shen Yan feel as if a knife were twisting in his heart.
