My name is Mengji, and I was the most cowardly little patrolman in the city of Peiping in the 17th year of the Republic of China. Others rely on guns to solve crimes, but I rely on my mouth - and a eloquent crow's mouth. By accident, she was transferred to the powerful Marshal Duan's house as the "exclusive detective maid", oh no, a female guard. Duan Yunting, the commander-in-chief, is decisive in killing and powerful, and is the king of hell in the dreams of all the girls in the city. Unlucky as I am, I had a crush on him at first sight—no, to be precise, I had a crush on his face and the candy he occasionally handed me.
What's even more outrageous is that there have been murders in the Marshal's house one after another: the concubine was hanged, the adjutant was poisoned, the Japanese consultant was assassinated... All the evidence points to Marshal Duan, but I know that he was framed. In order to clear his suspicions, I could only ramble on and on, and finally uncovered a huge conspiracy to restore the Qing Dynasty and the great powers to compete for minerals. My coward turned out to be the Marshal's only trump card.
During the process of solving the case, the handsome man looked at me more and more strangely. Is he going to kill me and silence me? Or... Do you have some interest in me? An anti-routine light comedy, a self-deprecating detective story, with a laugh point in each chapter and a twist in each case. A high-ranking, cold-faced marshal × a cowardly and narcissistic female detective, I am the Republic version of "Mr. And Mrs. Smith" and work as an undercover agent in the marshal's house.
