Modern policewoman Yang Xiaoxiao is accidentally shot during a pursuit. When she wakes up, she discovers she has transmigrated to a country that never existed in history, the State of Wei, and become Ye Yihe, the legitimate daughter of the county magistrate of Pingyang. Her original self was fiery, willful, and notoriously impossible to deal with. The moment Yang Xiaoxiao arrives, she's faced with a mess: a maid plotting against her, a father with a headache, and a worried mother.
Before she has time to adjust to life in the past, a bizarre series of disappearances lands on her doorstep. Three young women vanish in broad daylight, leaving no trace, dead or alive. Even her father is at a loss.
The police officer in Yang Xiaoxiao stirs to life. She trades her skirts for men's clothes, climbs over the courtyard wall, and begins solving cases in ancient times.
But her “secret mission” is discovered by someone: General Xia Yanqing, who has returned to the capital to report on his duties.
Dressed in a black brocade robe and a jade belt, with sharp brows and sparkling eyes, he nevertheless has a devil-may-care air. Leaning against a wall at the mouth of the alley, he watches her with a grin. “Miss Ye, is this how you go out?”
The two go from adversaries constantly at odds to partners solving cases together, trading barbs all the way from Pingyang County to the capital.
The female protagonist is quirky, and the male protagonist is different from other generals who are aloof. He is the type who enjoys making enemies, which is very good.
