Also titled: "After Being Matched with a Brocade Guard, I Formed a Demon-Hunting Team"

He Lingyi was just a diligent demon-investigating mage in the Demon Hunting Bureau, specializing in tracking and assessing demons. While solving cases alongside her companions, she unexpectedly found herself bound by a marriage contract. Her intended husband was none other than Pei Zhao, the ruthless, cold-blooded commander of the Brocade Guards. On top of that, the two of them went on to solve numerous cases and uncover the truth behind them.

Pei Zhao's father was the Minister of Revenue, his mother was the emperor's eldest sister, and he himself was now the emperor's personal guard and favorite courtier, as well as commander of the Brocade Guards. With a background like that, he should have enjoyed boundless prestige and a limitless future. He should have been the dream man of countless noblewomen in the capital. But his ruthless methods, eccentric temper, and haughty disdain for all living beings had scared off countless admirers.

When the marriage contract finally arrived, Pei Zhao thought, He Lingyi... The name sounds a little familiar. He'd once visited the Demon Hunting Bureau, and as he passed through the front courtyard, he'd caught sight of a pale green figure who seemed to be getting punished. He'd heard someone say, "Lingyi, getting punished again?" He Lingyi had replied languidly, "Mm, I am."

After just one glance, Pei Zhao looked away.
