Wife, I Need a Coroner

Chief Forensic Pathologist for the Police Department, Ji Chan, is transported to another dimension and wakes up as the shameless and insolent niece of the distinguished Duke Lu.

Blessed with a visage as fair as a flower and a figure as light as a feather, the original Ji Chan is unfortunately ignorant beyond measure. She spends her days dreaming of marrying into wealth. Eventually, she becomes a pawn in her cousin’s scheme, and finds herself in bed with her future cousin-in-law.

And then she kicks the bucket…

On their wedding day, Si Qi offers Ji Chan two choices.

First, she can take the title of the Si family’s Young Madam, but she won’t be allowed to bear his children.

Second, they could divorce with him offering her a generous settlement of ten thousand taels of silver, henceforth each would live their own life.

Ji Chan chooses the second.

And so, she becomes a discarded wife.

Four years later, Si Qi, now Deputy Chief of the Supreme Court, is confronted with a perplexing case that torments his sleep for two relentless days and nights.

Overwhelmed by a sense of duty, Ji Chan comes forward to lend a helping hand.

From that point on, his haughty demeanor shatters. He finds himself regularly lurking outside Ji Chan’s doorstep, pleading through tear-streaked cheeks for her assistance with autopsies. Unashamedly, he vows to shoulder responsibility for Ji Chan and their child.
