The Magistrate's Guide to Investigating the Strange

Ye Ling, a mystery enthusiast and “human-body printer,” transmigrates into the body of the “legitimate son” of the Minister of War, and from the start finds himself causing a scene at his own grave. He examines the faceless female corpse lying beside him and casually deals with two grave robbers. The good news: he survived, and even got a body full of martial arts skills for free. The bad news: the original owner’s memories are completely gone, he’s been poisoned with a deadly toxin, and, just like the victims of the capital’s bizarre cases, he doesn’t have much time left. What should he do? Obviously, kidnap a handsome doctor with a cool, medicinal scent and make detoxifying him the top priority! The capital’s game of intrigue is set in motion. Bizarre cases erupt one after another: a human-faced spider strips noblewomen of their faces, a man-eating tree swallows an entire family’s corpses, and flesh and blood turn into a torture chamber… Meanwhile, Zhou Jingxing, his childhood friend who also transmigrated and ended up stranded here, is accompanying the star dancer at the Red Sleeve House on a homemade guitar, inwardly shouting: “If I don’t get back soon, this innocent young man is going to become the top courtesan!” [Little Scenes] Ye Ling’s “fiancée,” Shen Yunshu: “What was that era like? Could people eat their fill? Could they study?” “A Ling, could women travel freely under heaven?” Ye Ling’s “bargain cousin,” Chu Yi: “A Ling, I don’t want blood ties or a reputation! You can make full use of all my medical skills, too. I only ask for the chance to stand by your side.” “Even if it means becoming your… mistress!” Strong female lead × art student × bizarre cases × dual transmigration × awakening of the natives × women’s struggle
