"Other people solve cases with evidence. I solve them by touching things!"
The genius profiler Jiang Ning was murdered. When she opened her eyes again, she had become Jiang Qianqian, the infamous "pretty-face policewoman" in some unknown city in 1985.
The good news: She gained the golden finger of "touch-activated retrospection."
Touch a murder weapon, and she can see the killer commit the crime!
Touch bloodstained clothes, and she can sense the victim's final memories!
Even a button can reveal the killer's height and build!
The bad news: Her ability has its limits. She can't see the killer's face, so she'll still have to rely on her own profiling skills. And every time she uses it, her whole body aches terribly.
*
First case: The "suicide" of a textile mill worker
Watching her approach, a fellow officer from her class scoffed. "It's obviously drowning. Don't waste your time!"
Jiang Qianqian grabbed a fiber caught beneath the victim's fingernail.
"The killer is left-handed, 178 centimeters tall, and slept with the victim last night!"
The whole police station erupted!
*
Second case: A string of arson attacks
The officer searching for evidence sighed. "The scene burned to the ground. There's nothing to investigate!"
She touched the charred doorknob.
"The killer has a bad right leg. The next target is the People's Theater!"
That night, they saved thirteen lives!
*
Third case: A dismemberment at a dance hall
She recognized the familiar cutting technique when she touched the victim's wounds.
"This is the calling card of the serial killer who murdered her!"
Even more terrifying, the criminal investigation consultant Fu Chenzhou, who was always showing up to "help," was sharpening a knife behind her in exactly the same way as the killer...
"Consultant Fu, care to explain?"
The man pinned her against the evidence cabinet, his breath hot. "Officer Jiang, the way you touch evidence..."
"Reminds me of someone I killed with my own hands."
Reading guide:
1. A glamorous profiler with a golden finger x a mysterious, teasing criminal investigation expert
2. Period crime investigation + reborn revenge + both leads hiding their identities + mysterious time-and-space crimes
3. Lots of creative liberties and a very powerful golden finger. Don't take things too seriously. The setting is fictional and has no connection to reality.

Her Adorable Husband [The 1980s]
Blurb:
Jiang Zhi opened her eyes and found herself the daughter of a butcher in the 1980s.
She wielded her cleaver with such force that the whole village gave her a wide berth, and even the men avoided her.
Then one day, she cut her hand and went to the village clinic.
The new village doctor, Chen Zui, had painterly features and the elegance of snow. Unfortunately... he was disabled, confined to a wheelchair, and as quiet as a fragile jade Guanyin statue.
"Zui's a soft touch. Ever since his accident, anyone can walk all over him. The village chief's daughter is even trying to force him to marry into her family..."
"Sis, you're the only one who can protect him!"
Jiang Zhi's heart gave a little lurch. Looking at that quiet figure, she suddenly felt bold.
Three days later, she showed up at his door with half a pig carcass, slapped the table, and said, "Chen Zui, marry me! I'll protect you from now on!"
Everyone was stunned. A butcher had forcefully married a disabled beauty? What a couple!
Their married life:
She swung her cleaver to butcher pigs and provide for the family, while he wheeled over to hand her water and wipe her sweat.
She planted her hands on her hips and drove off anyone who came to cause trouble, while he lowered his eyes and brewed tea, his fingers as lovely as jade.
She thought she was nurturing a delicate parasitic flower, never realizing her adorable husband had already woven a gentle web around her, leading her step by step to prosperity, from their little village courtyard to a splendid villa in the provincial capital.
The night they moved into their new home...
Jiang Zhi had just finished bathing, water dripping from her wet hair, when she saw...
The wheelchair sat empty. Her supposedly "disabled" husband stood tall and upright, walking toward her step by step until he pinned her against the wall decorated with a big red "double happiness" character. His hot breath brushed her ear, and his cool voice turned husky.
"Honey... Want to make up for what we missed on our wedding night?"
His ears were scarlet, but his gaze was full of hungry intent.
Jiang Zhi: "?! Your legs... they're healed?! You were faking that delicate, helpless look?!"
Before she could demand an explanation, the world spun. He swept her into his arms.
Red candles flickered. The bedroom door stayed closed all night.
The next morning,
Jiang Zhi clutched her aching waist and glared at her satisfied, refreshed "adorable husband."
"Chen Zui! You're no frail beauty... You're a ravenous wolf in sheep's clothing!"
Wasn't she supposed to be the one who forced him into marriage? This wasn't how the story was supposed to go!
[Reading guide]
* Bold, straightforward butcher girl x handsome, scheming, black-hearted "adorable" husband (His disability was fake! His heart is black!)
* Marriage first, love later. She flirts with him? He turns the tables and reels her in! Intense romantic tension!
* One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, devoted to each other in body and heart.
Theme: Stay positive and keep striving for justice, wherever you are.
"Although the original owner Jiang Qianqian has beauty..." This is a big mistake for the author~ What does it mean that although she has beauty, she only yearns to work in the police station? The underlying meaning of beauty is that she is a idiot, so what is that?
