I am Ling Buyi, the sole survivor of a massacred family, carrying a blood feud.
To take revenge, I infiltrated the capital and began investigating a seemingly minor murder case.
But can someone tell me why the story keeps getting stranger and stranger?
Why does the female constable from the Six Fan Gate, who swore she’d drag me to the imperial prison and bring me to justice, look at me with such a fierce yet shining gaze and blush when no one’s watching after we join forces to defeat our enemies?
Why does the aloof and proud courtesan of the Moon-Gazing House, who claims she never lets guests stay, insist on giving me her family’s ancestral treasure, the key to the previous dynasty’s hidden fortune, saying I’m the only person she can entrust it to?
And you, the exiled princess with a gaze harder than a blade: stop staring at me like I killed your father! The clue to restoring your kingdom... really is in my hands!
I’m at a loss.
I set out to avenge a blood feud, but somehow turned it into a romantic battlefield.
I only want to quietly find some treasure and get my revenge. Why is that so hard?
Ladies, please leave me alone! I’m really just here to investigate a case!
