Gu Wuyi, the legendary female detective of the prosperous Tang dynasty, was skilled at solving cases and deeply devoted to her country, yet she died as the victim of a wrongful accusation in a palace case.
When she opens her eyes, she has become Ye Zhiqiu, a woman born into a wealthy family a thousand years later. She is a modern police officer, trapped by marriage and family ties.
Ye Zhiqiu's husband is courteous and successful, yet has been secretly sleeping with her best friend for years. Her family treats her as a pawn in an arranged marriage, and silence is her last shred of dignity. Until Gu Wuyi arrives, and she refuses to stay silent any longer.
Past and present converge; memories are reborn.
She solves cases using ancient methods and views tangled relationships with a cool eye, carefully unearthing one truth after another. She exposes not only the darkness behind criminal cases, but also the hypocrisy and betrayal among the powerful.
She wields her brush and blade as weapons, avenging others and clearing her own name.
She is not Ye Zhiqiu, yet she lives with a sharper edge than Ye Zhiqiu ever did.
When the truth pierces the lies of her marriage, how will the legendary detective of old uphold justice in this modern age?
This is the story of a woman who awakens from humiliation and finds independence beyond love, transmigrating across a thousand years to solve cases with her own hands.
Very well written, thank you author!
