Synopsis

[Cool on the outside, warm and slightly scheming female detective × steadfast, upright male censor] A period mystery anthology with sweet romance and redemption, fast-paced investigations, classic deduction, and a heroine with a second personality.

Qu Chanyin, the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager, the late head of the Prison Administration, and the only daughter of Prince Jing’an, is the Princess of Jing’an. Paralyzed in both legs since childhood, she is quiet and reticent but exceptionally clever. Longing for her father, she petitioned to serve as a case-records clerk at the Prison Administration, where she manages case files.

The constables and detectives at the capital’s criminal courts all know that the Prison Administration has an extraordinary young woman. She never visits crime scenes or examines the bodies. She merely sits in her wheelchair and listens to the case details, yet even the strangest cases are solved.

At first, Lin Tangxi, Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, refuses to believe the rumors. But after a chance encounter, the incorruptible chief censor willingly becomes her “page.”

Ancient Mystery and Crime-Solving, No System

I'm looking for books like The Longest Day in Chang'an, the complete two-volume edition. No modern technology: solving cases in ancient times should be genuinely difficult. Stories where the protagonist gets a System for no reason are no fun.
