The Legitimate Daughter Takes Office, and the Entire Court Trembles

[One-on-one romance, both leads are devoted to each other, strong male and female leads, mystery and political intrigue take center stage, with little romance]

She is the legitimate daughter of a general’s household, lost from home and raised elsewhere. When she wakes, she finds herself at a crime scene with a dagger in her hand, the prime suspect in the murder of Grand Tutor Ji, a high-ranking court official.

He is the only son of the emperor’s aunt, a princess, and the emperor’s most favored official. The emperor even established an entire yamen for him. Just as his influence is growing, he hears that his mentor has been murdered.

She is the suspect. He is the investigator.

The case is riddled with clues, and every twist leads to another trap.

They doubt and suspect each other, but as they join forces to solve case after case, they come to admire one another.

Note: They work together to solve cases and purge the court. She can command armies and bring peace, and she can solve bizarre cases with her intellect. She is Great Gu’s first female official.
