Transmigrated to the Song Dynasty: The Female Coroner

[One-Sentence Blurb]

Jian Anlin transmigrates back to the Song Dynasty, disguises herself as a man, and returns to her old profession. As a top FBI agent, she solves one baffling case after another in the Song, making a name for herself through the ages as a legendary female judicial commissioner.

[Mystery Blurb]

In the first year of Xining under Emperor Shenzong of Song, the emperor plans to implement reforms. Yet every reform in history has brought bloodshed and intrigue. The old guard opposes the changes, while the new elite waits for its chance. Amid it all, power struggles take shape, one after another.

In these turbulent times, a series of baffling cases arise. A beautiful woman plucks a flower, then becomes a corpse; a mysterious old mansion conceals strange secrets; supernatural beings lurk in the bustling capital; and undercurrents swirl through the palace’s inner chambers...

From the far-flung rivers and lakes to the heights of the imperial court, from the darkness of human nature to the depths of friendship, all kinds of characters take the stage in a succession of gripping dramas during the restless Xining era.

[Standard Blurb]

After transmigrating, Jian Anlin still longs for the satisfaction of solving cases. She lacks the gentle, delicate temperament typical of Song Dynasty women, and instead disguises herself as a man, venturing into the martial world and becoming caught up in the changing tides of the imperial court.

Searching for bodies and questioning witnesses, digging up graves and opening coffins, dealing with ghosts and traveling with demons: what shocks everyone else is just another ordinary day for Jian Anlin.

When the girl next door dies mysteriously, she uncovers the truth.

When a noble young woman is caught in danger, she risks her life to establish the facts.

When children vanish without a trace, she reasons her way through the clues and saves them...

Whether the evidence is dead or alive, Jian Anlin can find the truth at the heart of a case in the tiniest of clues, giving the wrongly murdered a reason to rest in peace.

She cannot prevent tragedies from happening, but she can stop them from happening again. She cannot stop criminals from committing their crimes, but she can bring them to justice afterward. With a clear conscience toward herself and the people, she lives up to her title: Judicial Commissioner of the Song Dynasty.

Jian Anlin: “People are often controlled by their emotions and desires. One misstep can send them plunging into the abyss of temptation, where they make mistakes that cannot be undone. I’m here to uncover the truth and expose the monsters hiding beneath human skin. The truth may be hard to believe, but once the surface lies are stripped away, whatever filth and pain remains is still an unchangeable fact.”

Mu Lin: “I’ll protect Anlin and keep her safe and healthy for the rest of her life.”
