On Her Wedding Night, the Heir's Wife Investigates a Case at a Male Courtesan House

[A hidden side to the male lead? Once the thought takes hold, he acts on impulse.]

On her wedding night, Su Leng lifts her veil and heads straight to a male courtesan house.

In the elegant room across the street at the brothel, her husband in name only, Xiao Chi, is drinking and making merry with the brothel’s top beauty in his arms.

A sudden downpour begins. The carved window swings open.

At opposite ends of the long street, Xiao Chi raises his cup in greeting, and Su Leng smiles back.

Their cups clink through the curtain of rain. A scream suddenly rings out from downstairs.

As Su Leng investigates a murder at the crime scene, his lazy, amused voice sounds behind her:

“The mysterious coroner in the capital’s serial murder case…”

“Turns out it’s my bride.

…

At the time, Su Leng was only interested in medicine, and had little patience for unorthodox methods. “As for how to prove it, just find a poison master. I don’t have that kind of drug.”

…

Afraid of thunder? Xiao Chi, afraid of thunder? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard! But what if that clumsy trick from the storybook actually works?

Once the thought takes hold, it spreads like wildfire, impossible to put out.

“It’s only thunder.”

“Come in.”
