Name: Women May Be Gentle, but One Slash Is All It Takes
Author: Su Su Tuzhi

Synopsis

[A seemingly delicate little white flower who’s really a tenacious, ruthless wild rose vs. a seemingly cold and heartless man who’s really gentle, principled, and jealous]

(Growing heroine + equally matched leads + one-on-one romance + duty to country and family + face-slapping and putting scumbags in their place + play the pig to eat the tiger + revenge + devoted to each other)

Her father rose to a high post in the capital, yet left his precious, delicate daughter behind at the manor to recuperate. She was so frail that even a fall would make her cry, and for five years he never once visited or asked after her.

After being tricked into going to the capital, Yan Jin discovers that everything has changed.

Just as a group of assassins think she’s a helpless little flower, easy to kill, she transforms into the King of Hell himself.

She says coldly, “Tonight, I’ll carry out Heaven’s justice and kill every last one of you beasts!”

After a fierce battle, she finally sets foot on the land of Shengjing. Seeing a world ruled by the powerful, she secretly makes up her mind.

The truth no one is looking for, she’ll find!

The old enemy no one dares to kill, she’ll kill!

But her strange behavior draws the attention of Commander Xiao Ci.

At their first meeting, could he possibly fall for a delicate, plain, dull woman who can’t even lift a small knife? Absolutely not.

Later, he leans close, resting his jaw beside the hollow of her neck, and whispers, “After today, everyone in Shengjing will know that I like you.”

At their first meeting, she has no interest in a well-dressed, wide-eyed fool like him!

Later...

(Fictional setting, no need to nitpick.)

#Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger #Female Lead in Disguise

The story was already well underway, and the leads were married. The female lead may have been a forensic examiner. She helped her senior colleague with a disguise, since he didn’t want anyone to recognize him and usually looked ugly, so he could help the male lead solve a case. The male lead was attracted to her. I remember the female lead had a red mole on her earlobe, which was actually stuck on as part of the disguise.

Looking for Books With Strong Philosophical Themes

I'd like a stronger romance between the male and female leads. Anything is fine as long as it's not workplace fiction. Both leads should be equally strong and smart, with lots of memorable quotes. Happy or tragic endings are both fine.
