The Delicate Lady Coroner

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Female Lead’s Perspective:

At five years old, Bó Ruò Yōu’s parents passed away. Her uncles looked for a Taoist Priest to divine her fate. Apparently, she was a woman who brought ill luck to her family and jinxed her father and mother, and it was asserted that she would die young, unable to live past the age of eighteen.

Under the banner of changing her fate, her uncles chased her out of the family door.

After she departed, her assets were seized, and her marriage contract was taken away. They wrested away everything, only waiting for her to die at eighteen.

They waited and waited, but before Bó Ruò Yōu even reached eighteen, what awaited them was how she used her corpse dissecting and bone examining skills to shake Jiangnan.

The influential and the nobility invited her to make the dead speak, the princes and marquises entreated her to redress an injustice for the living.

And behind her, also stood a man that could strike terror in the entirety of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Male Lead’s Perspective:

Wielding the Embroidered Emissaries above, Assuming the Judicial Commission below.

The ruthless and intractable Huò Wēi Lóu had the power to subvert the courts and commons, but he snorted disdainfully at female charms.

Hence, on their first encounter, even if Bó Ruò Yōu came from an official family and possessed a matchless countenance, he still detested it like a worn-out shoe.

Later, after seeing her long, slender, and fair hands examining a female corpse in red robes, breaking past her ghosts and seizing back her life, clearing up the long-standing injustices of the past…

Huò Wēi Lóu: Truly fragrant, truly and genuinely fragrant!

Well written series of mu*der mysteries and investigations with enjoyable leads. The focus is typically on the investigations and there's not much imperial drama. Female lead is a good balance of professional at her job and youthful. Male lead is cold iceberg who melts, is mentioned to not like women but other than the first instance with the FL, is not particularly misogynistic.

Romance is pretty sweet, ML can be pushy but respects FLs choices and supports and is part of her work even after they get together. Both of them... more>> support each other and don't try to change or force either to be different. Only complaint is I wanted more romance but the climax of the story is focused more on an overarching case. <<less

This is a very mystery and plot driven novel, so if you were like me and expecting a lot of romance and fluff, expect to be disappointed.
Spoiler

The novel starts with a mu*der case. The MC's past where she was driven out of her house and her marriage stolen never get rehashed, and for this novel it works better like that. MC was only 5 when her extended family drove her out, so we never see this from her POV, which works because she was basically a child when this all happened.

MC's character is very calm and rational. She is good at her job and anyone with any sense and eyes can see that. ML notices it the first time he watches her do an autopsy and this changes his impression of her for the better. Of course he did not fall in love straight away. It took maybe half the novel before he started to admit his feelings? But he is definitely the one who falls first. MC is a bit slower in terms of romantic EQ. ML is your typical strong and silent type guy, although he has a ruthless reputation and he is not too fond of women. MC is an exception, and only because she was useful to him in the beginning. He is a bit pushy at the beginning of their relationship, but MC stands her ground and he eventually gets better.

The novel is very episodic. Once a case is finished, the next one starts and eventually the cases start to interlink until the final villain (who is also a villain of MC's past and caused her family tragedy) is captured.

There is minimal face slapping sadly. ML did offer to get revenge for her and make her family regret, but she never has any thoughts of revenge or getting even. She is very indifferent to her family, and only considers her foster father her family. If you are expecting face slapping, please also exit to the left as there is basically none.

I wish there ending was longer and we got more of a look into their married life. They got married in the last chapter and there is no smut or any explicit scenes, sadly.

**Updated to add — finished reading the novel on mtlnovel. Com Obviously that translation is a lot rougher than yuulations' work. I enjoyed the novel but hope yuulations will pick up their translation some day as I am sure I missed many nuances.**

I have really enjoyed this novel so far. Interesting characters, the mystery of our female lead's backstory, and great translation have me intrigued and longing for more.

I hope the translator is able to continue with this work.

I only just discovered this novel a few days ago and am... more>> a little bummed to see that there have not been any new translated chapters since last September. <<less

I love everything about this fic so far. FL is smart and mature. The ML is equally smart and helps in solving the mysteries. I like that he is depicted as an actually powerful, tough, no nonsense, aristocrat who in concerned about his work and also invoke fear from people around him and invokes loyalty as well. He might be growing to care for the FL but its gradual and makes sense.

Fantastic translation, hope it continues.

Love this!

I feel like detective conan but better, because I hate unending stories.

Hmmm but tbh, some plot twists are not as good as conan, but this one's romance is waaays better.

Thank you for showing growing affections between characters in a smart, non dog-blood way.
