The Brocade-Clad Commander Can Read Minds, and the Greedy Girl Can't Hide

[Cold, dark, mind-reading Brocade Guard + mercenary, lecherous junior constable + mystery romance + lighthearted, sweet love] Chi Li is a junior constable with the Six Fan Gate. The handsome new top graduate she had her eye on at a restaurant was seized right off the street by Xiao Ce, Deputy Commissioner of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. The whole city says she’s a jinx no one would dare marry. Everyone says Xiao Ce is the most handsome man under heaven, so Chi Li latches onto him. At crime scenes, she covets his looks; late at night, she sneaks a peek at him bathing and changing clothes. She has no idea that he’s long since read every one of her thoughts about wanting him. When the man in his flying-fish uniform pins her beneath him, her heart leaps with joy: This is so exciting! So exciting! My lord, kiss me already! But the man coldly tosses her out the window, and she lands in a fishpond, proving the rumors right once again: She’s not even worthy of carrying Lord Xiao’s shoes! But later, when she is about to marry the regent as the orphaned daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, the iron-willed Xiao Ce kneels and begs her, his voice so hoarse it is almost unrecognizable: “Little Fish, please look at me, even if only once!”
