Ke Xiaotang, once a legendary special forces soldier, let his guard down and was taken out with a single shot by an elite bodyguard. When he opened his eyes again, he was a bottom-rung constable in Qingyang County, Great Xia, so poor his clothes were in tatters and his blade was as dull as firewood. He had a head full of modern technology and the skills to take down ten bandits, yet he had to bow and scrape for a few coins in salary. Frustration: max. Sarcasm: max! From petty street thieves to serial murders, from the eerie “ghost ship” to a major weapons case that shakes the imperial court, he puts modern criminal-investigation methods, special forces tactics, and the brute-force applications of “time transmigration” (blinding light, smoke, instant movement?) to work in a series of hard-hitting investigations. Scientific detective work, keen observation, and physics-based persuasion: he can handle anyone who refuses to cooperate!
After rescuing a cat at an imperial banquet, he unexpectedly catches the eye of the aloof Empress Xuanyuan Zhaohua. They talk during her incognito visit, and she gives him a dagger as a token of love. They risk their lives to protect each other! When a brave, sharp-witted constable meets an empress with a discerning eye, they fight side by side amid political intrigue, and their feelings gradually grow. When the ultimate ambush strikes, he is poisoned while protecting her at all costs! Once the dust settles, she gives up the throne for him, only for the ending to take a stunning turn: he transmigrates back to the modern era!
