Master of Disguise Thief vs. Icy Constable
Li Qiyue, who disguises herself as a man, is the greatest thief in Great Zhou, known as the “Thousand-Handed Civet.” One day, she accidentally picks the pocket of Shen Yan, the terrifying constable of Shuntian Prefecture, who presses a sharp blade to her throat.
“Become a constable or go to jail. Pick one.”
Li Qiyue backs down and from then on begins a life of endless hard labor under Shen Yan.
A murder by puppet case, a headless corpse case, a thousand bodies burned alive, a murder foretold in advance... The cases are bizarre and convoluted, their twists and turns shrouded in mystery.
Li Qiyue can understand the language of corpses and is skilled at examining traces. Together with Shen Yan, she forms a formidable team and solves one strange, baffling case after another.
By chance, she discovers that her father’s death is connected to a bloody court case from twenty years ago. While solving crimes, she searches for the truth behind what happened back then.
When Li Qiyue’s name is known throughout the land and she has grown into a renowned constable,
Shen Yan gazes at the tips of her ears, flushed red, and nearly drops the knife in his hand.
“My lady, please give me a hug.”
The plot has ups and downs, many twists and turns, and it's fun to watch. But it's so tiring to wait for updates.
