She is Mingde's finest portrait artist, able to recreate the faces of the dead as they looked in life. She is the finest coroner, and no corpse she examines ever fails to reveal its clues. She is the finest investigator, never letting a difficult or unusual case go unsolved. Wherever there is an unjust case, she is sure to be found. The living can lie, but corpses never deceive. She makes the dead reveal the truth behind every lie told by the living. He is the virtuous crown prince who assists the ruler, doing everything in his power to recruit talented people to serve the country. When they meet again, one is the head of the Simen Sect, directly under the emperor's command; the other is a royal inspector ordered to investigate the court's secret cases. She asks, “If someone in this world slanders me, bullies me, humiliates me, deceives me, and even tries to kill me, how should I deal with them?” He replies, “For the first kind, seize their family wealth, strip them of their office, and exile them to a distant place. In a few days, just wait and see what becomes of them. As for the last kind... I'll personally send them to meet the King of Hell.” A few things to know: (1) The setting is entirely fictional, fictional, fictional! (2) Some revised chapters have been shortened. Don't worry, everyone, bonus chapters are on the way.
