Taking My Brother’s Place at the Border, I Solve Cases and Leave Everyone Stunned

Shen Lie, legitimate son of the Earl of Jingbian, took the blame for his younger brother and served five years guarding the frontier, surviving a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood to rise to the rank of Senior Banner Officer, eighth grade. A letter from home claiming that his father was gravely ill lured him back to the capital. Instead, he was ordered to marry into Qinghe Garden in his brother's place and spy on the deposed emperor and his sister, a deadly trap.

He severed ties with his family and entered the fray. Using his skill in criminal law, he solved case after case, rising from the family's castoff to the heights of power in the Northern Garrison, overturning the court's secret and open intrigues and taking control of life and death.
