Synopsis

[Strong Female Lead + Political Intrigue + Mystery + Two Powerful Leads + Clearing a Family's Name]

Twelve years ago, Yan Tingshan, Vice Minister of Revenue, was framed for keeping false accounts to aid the enemy, and the entire Yan family was destroyed. Young Yan Wuyou narrowly escaped death, assumed a false identity, and made a living writing legal petitions for others in Jiangling.

Twelve years later, a secret letter from a dead man drags her back to Yujing.

From missing relief grain to illicit salt-trade accounts, from phantom names on military payrolls to a fallen border city: with every case she investigates, more people want her dead. Every clue leads back to the Qingzhou Sunken Granary Case, the scandal that destroyed the Yan family. Behind the truth lies an enormous lie buried jointly by the imperial court, the great clans, and foreign enemies.

Everyone in Yujing fears Xie Chenyuan, commander of the Night Patrol Office. He is the emperor's sharpest blade, and the last person she should trust. One excels at laying plans, the other at unraveling them. They go from using each other to becoming allies who would risk their lives for one another.

When the powerful officials of the court demand that she bow her head, Yan Wuyou takes up her brush and writes a petition:

“I do not bring charges against one person or one case. I bring charges against this imperial capital, this so-called age of prosperity.”

She seeks to clear more than her family's name. She wants to reclaim the vast land swallowed by the long night.

Are There Any More Normal Female-Oriented Stories? They Are Getting More and More Ridiculous

No showbiz, no being adored by everyone, and no female lead who loses her mind the moment she meets the male lead. I don't want another supposedly clear-headed, strong female lead who turns into a lovesick idiot and acts like she can't live without him. No jokes just for the sake of jokes, either. Are there any female leads with brains and common sense?
