Solving Crimes in Ancient Times: The Beauties Are All Powerhouses

Modern forensic pathologist Ji Suifeng opens his eyes as a coroner. A charred corpse exposes the rotting truth behind the Great Wei Dynasty:

A gold needle behind the ear is coated in a hallucinogenic poison from the Western Regions; an almond cake in the stomach conceals secret Ministry of Rites accounts; the scorched sleeve bears the hidden tiger-tally pattern from a treason case twenty years ago.

He cuts through the lies:

He uses vinegar and wine to reveal the blood groove in a curved blade, a centrifuge to purify Netherworld Gu poison, and celestial movements to deduce the killing formation in an underground palace.

A female official of the Imperial City Bureau carries the bloodline of the former crown prince. A merchant caravan from the Western Regions is transporting the Imperial Seal. The emperor seated on the throne is nothing more than a puppet whose brain has been devoured by poisonous insects.

“The dead never lie...”

“But the living are all actors.”

When his autopsy knife tears away the dynasty’s veil of shame, a century-long game of intrigue between the martial world and the court reaches its bloody conclusion, with bones as its pieces and the whole realm drenched in blood.
