[Wild Premise + Supernatural + Light Ensemble Cast + Mystery Solving] [Strong Female Lead + Romance] [Top Forensic Pathologist × Frail, Delicate Prince]
Song Rushi waited quietly at the Jiaofangsi for three years, and finally got her chance to join the Court of Judicial Review. Instead, she ran into a completely unreliable superior and was assigned to the Court's dirt-poor new department, the Night Patrol Office.
Nobody told her that once she joined, her superior would live off her money and support the entire Night Patrol Office!
The capital has been anything but peaceful lately: a skinless female corpse, a scholar's suicide, a water ghost dragging people away, puppets appearing everywhere...
Those blessed by fate defy Heaven; those who follow fate steal from Heaven to extend their lives.
Song Rushi only wanted to get closer to the truth behind the Song family being exiled a thousand miles away and hunted down. But the moment she stepped into the storm, she realized all she really wanted was a simple, peaceful life with her friends.
"Who said anything about that? You still want to dock our monthly pay with Pei Ji!"
One of the grudge-bearing men protested indignantly.
"And you want Tang Tang to do all your hard labor!"
The little mute gestured furiously in accusation.
"Miss Song should still come to my School of a Hundred Ghosts and learn benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith..."
The scholar had just begun his lecture when all three cut him off at once.
"Anyone who argues in the Night Patrol Office gets another half a tael of silver deducted from their monthly pay."
Prince Pei happily made a note of it. If he docked their pay, he wouldn't have to...
Song Rushi promptly added fifty taels to Pei Ji's IOU.
Nice try. If their pay gets docked, yours does too.
