Set earlier in the Ming Dynasty timeline, Post Mortem Examiner takes us back to the moment when corpses first began whispering secrets, and one man was brave (and stubborn) enough to listen.

Before he earned his reputation in Royal Medical Examiner, Song Shao wass a newly appointed medical examiner facing a case no one else wants: a series of suspicious deaths that look natural on the surface but feel deeply, unsettlingly wrong. Bodies bear strange marks, families tell half-truths, and official explanations arrive far too quickly. Song Shao soon realizes that in a world ruled by hierarchy and fear, discovering the truth can be more dangerous than committing the crime.

Armed with little more than his forensic skill, a sharp mind, and an unshakable sense of justice, Song Shao digs into deaths others would rather forget. Each examination pushes him closer to a hidden web of corruption, and closer to enemies who prefer silence over answers. What begins as a professional duty becomes a personal trial, shaping the man he will become and laying the groundwork for the formidable examiner seen later.

Moody, methodical, and quietly gripping, Post Mortem Examiner is a prequel steeped in tension and moral weight, a story about how truth is uncovered inch by inch, blade by blade, on the autopsy table, and how one man learns that even in death, lies leave scars.
