The County Magistrate

Wen Zhesang, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, has been well-read since childhood and has always looked up to the only female official of the previous dynasty.

After making a three-year pact with the emperor, she transforms from a pampered young lady of the Minister’s household into a county magistrate responsible for everything from murder cases to the smallest everyday disputes.

When an ambitious young female magistrate meets a bandit chief who wants to submit to the imperial court but keeps getting thwarted, is it a fated romance or a case of two people constantly at odds?
