Synopsis

Lu Shaoli arrives in the capital alone, gifted with peerless martial prowess and a mysterious past. She means to keep a low profile, but stumbles straight into a string of bizarre cases. High officials die in mysterious circumstances, rumors spread, and fear grips the city. Gui Yongning, Junior Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, singles her out at a glance.

He is a master strategist, but frail and sickly. She is astonishingly strong, but stubborn and softhearted. Forced together, brains and brawn become an unlikely team, and the capital gains its most eye-catching pair of investigators.

As the linked murders close in, every strange crime conceals a shocking human conspiracy. Xie Yu, a cool and perceptive physician from the Imperial Medical Academy, and Ji Wuji, the unorthodox ruler of the underworld, are neither wholly allies nor wholly enemies. The four join forces to tear through layer upon layer of mystery.

An old case from the Eastern Palace seventeen years ago, the empress’s secrets, a missing princess… Every clue points to Lu Shaoli’s origins. Gui Yongning’s curiosity turns to love, and he risks his life to protect her. Lu Shaoli goes from disdain to dependence, finding peace of mind amid a turbulent age.

A case, a romance; a step, a flutter of the heart. When the mists finally clear, she casts aside her title and he gives up his future. All they want is to stay together for life, never to part, and to find lasting peace.

Looking for Ancient Detective Novels, Without a Bunch of Women Competing or Domestic Infighting

I want a novel about solving cases in ancient times. Not one that keeps throwing in a pile of household infighting and rivalry between women. No CP is fine, and I don't want the overall atmosphere to be too heavy either.
