The Scalpel’s Rebellion: Surviving the Living YamaUpdated at Feb 13, 2026, 20:43
"You saved my life, little physician. That means it now belongs to me."
Lin was the top forensic pathologist of 2026. Cold, brilliant, and untouchable. But after a bizarre accident, she wakes up in the brutal Great Yan Dynasty—kneeling in a pool of blood next to a freshly murdered corpse.
Before she can even process her time-travel, the door is kicked open by Yan Guichen, the terrifying Prince Regent known across the empire as the 'Living Yama' (God of Death). He is ruthless, devastatingly handsome, and his bloody sword is instantly at her throat.
To survive, Lin does the unthinkable. She uses her modern medical logic to prove her innocence, even daring to hold her silver scalpel to the deadly Prince's neck.
Intrigued by her audacity, the Living Yama doesn't kill her. Instead, he forces her into a dangerous contract. She is dragged into his heavily guarded manor, forced to become his personal surgeon, his alibi, and his closely guarded secret.
He is poison to her logic. She is the only cure for his cursed wounds.
As deadly royal conspiracies close in, Lin finds herself sharing a carriage, a manor, and sometimes even a bed with the most dangerous man in the empire to keep him alive. She can dissect any corpse and solve any murder... but can she decipher the fiercely beating heart of the God of Death before it entirely consumes her?
