Records of the Prosperous Tang: A Female Official Interrogates the Prisoner

Shen Qingyan, a modern forensic pathologist specializing in criminal investigations, transmigrates to the Kaiyuan era of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, only to become entangled in a murder case involving killing with words. Using modern forensic techniques, she solves a minor rural case and clears her own name. The county magistrate's assistant takes notice of her and makes an exception, allowing her to help investigate cases. She meets the male lead, Song Xuan, for the first time when he is inspecting the region, and catches his attention.

After distinguishing herself in solving cases, she is recommended for a post in the capital.

She breaks through the rule that "women may not enter the Dali Temple" and becomes a low-ranking forensic official.

She faces pressure from minor court factions and is ostracized by veteran investigators.

Yet each time, she uses a chain of physical evidence to identify the culprit and overturn wrongful convictions, securing her place in the Dali Temple.
