[Transmigration + Fake Spirit Medium + Lighthearted Mystery] [Dark, Scheming Prince x Stubborn, Ghost-Fearing Con Artist]
The moment Jiang Man opens her eyes, she finds herself posing as a spirit medium on a summoning platform in the prince's residence.
A note tells her to publicly accuse the steward of murder. Instead, she hands the script to Prince Ning, Lu Zhaowei. “Your Highness, take this, and you have to keep me alive.”
But Lu Zhaowei has already seen through the deception, and deliberately arranges for her to stay next to his study.
She can't summon spirits. She can only dismantle mechanisms and spot tricks, while also helping people claim their unpaid wages. He's gentle on the surface, but leaves half his words unspoken, using the investigation as an excuse to keep her close.
One only wants to save enough money to run away; the other knows she wants to run, yet has already planned her escape route for her.
Jiang Man thinks she's investigating the ghosts in the prince's residence. Only later does she realize that the hardest thing to guard against isn't a ghost, but this prince with his far-too-handsome smile.
It's just that whenever the prince speaks, he always deliberately leaves something unsaid.
Only later does Jiang Man realize that she's investigating a case, while the prince is working out how to keep her from running away.
