share time: 2025-11-15 00:31:00

Lin Xiaoman, a modern suspense writer, died from overworking and woke up as the most insignificant coroner's assistant in Mei City—only to be bound to a tricky system that exchanges case-solving for immortal power. The catch? She has to complete ridiculous tasks like "coaxing clues with sajiao (sweet coquetry)" or "pretending to be ugly to lure the culprit"! On her first day, she stumbles into a series of bizarre cases in Mei City: a bride vanishing from her sedan chair, a bank manager beheaded in a locked room. Worse, she's forced to team up with Lu Zhao, a cold, sarcastic constable who calls her methods "nonsense"! They bicker nonstop—she thinks he's "stubborn", he thinks she's "reckless"—but as they solve cases using her modern deduction and the system's quirky hints, they uncover Lu Zhao's secret as a member of a hidden immortal clan, and that the mysteries are linked to her past life's death! Between debunking "ghostly illusions" with logic, surviving the system's jokes, and falling for each other from mutual dislike to sweet affection, the fog over Mei City only grows thicker…
