[Tough on the outside, soft on the inside, a whiz at solving cases VS an exceptionally gentle, non-lethal assassin. Two strong leads, alternate historical setting, a mix of sweet and angsty, with personal growth]
In the fifteenth year of Ningguo, society is in turmoil and unsolved murders abound.
Xie Qingyun, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu’an’s household, is charged with solving cases. As she investigates, she gradually uncovers a major secret from seven years ago. With the nation on the brink of collapse, can a woman like Xie Qingyun draw on sheer courage and turn the tide alongside her companions?
And one of the people responsible for all this is none other than Xiao Wu, who has been by her side day and night. Qingyun can hardly believe it. What will become of their relationship?
Xiao Wu thought he would like men, until he met Qingyun:
Holding hands: blushing. Making eye contact: blushing. Kissing: blushing even more.
“Xiao Wu, you’re so cute. Why don’t you be my little kitty?”
“...” Xiao Wu fell silent.
In his mind, he was already imagining a hundred ways Qingyun could pet him like a cat.
