My Hands Make the Dead Speak

At a tender age of five, branded an \"ill-fated\" child destined to die before eighteen, Bo Ruo You was callously stripped of her inheritance and cast out by her greedy, superstitious uncles. They simply waited for her prophesied demise, confident she would vanish from their lives. But they waited in vain. For in a dynasty steeped in ancient superstitions and shrouded in unsolved mysteries, Ruo You possessed an unparalleled, forbidden gift: the ability to make the dead speak. Her keen eyes and precise hands could unravel the darkest secrets hidden within decaying corpses, solving baffling cases that stumped imperial officials and shaking Jiangnan's elite to its core, forcing influential nobles to beg for her unique expertise. Now, her path intertwines with the most feared man in the Great Zhou, the ruthless Wu Zhaohou, Huo Wei Lou—a man known for his icy demeanor and absolute disdain for female charm. He initially dismissed her as a mere woman, a nuisance. But as her slender fingers meticulously exposed the grim truths behind a chilling \"ghost murder\" case, his disdain slowly transformed into an undeniable, dangerous fascination. Will her extraordinary skills be enough to outwit a cunning killer, or will her growing connection to this formidable marquis expose her to even greater, unforeseen dangers?
