Synopsis

[First Person] [Soul Transmigration] [Political Intrigue] [Mystery Solving] [Wuxia] [Court Politics]

In the twenty-fourth year of Jingde, during the Great Qian dynasty, I was an ordinary modern man who unexpectedly transmigrated into the soul of Chu Jinglan, the greatest swordsman in the realm, trapped in a death row with no way out.

My execution was set for three days later, and I had no idea how to survive. Then Sikong Zhiyou, the Great Qian dynasty's eldest princess, famed for solving the realm's most baffling cases, entered that filthy prison herself.

She only had to look at me twice to see that beneath the swordsman's body lay a stranger's soul.

At first, I had no choice but to become her bodyguard if I wanted to stay alive. But after only a few days, the charm this woman showed began to make me fall for her. The shifting dynasties and court intrigues gradually came to light as I helped her solve case after case.

A common woman mysteriously falls pregnant, dozens of inns are hit by a string of murders, and a diplomatic mission for a marriage alliance is rife with hidden schemes. One baffling case after another unfolds... Until one day, I put the cases, the schemes, and all these stories into this book, The Zhiyoutang Case Files.
