Xue Langyu, the famed jade-faced sword immortal of the martial world, was run through the chest by his junior brother's sword, bringing his short but tumultuous legendary life to an end.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself reborn as Xue Zhao, a Court of Judicial Review official who looked six or seven parts like Xue Langyu but had a terrible reputation and could barely hold a sword.
At the time, Xue Zhao had already been poisoned and had only three days to live. The only way to obtain the antidote from the emperor was to solve the case of the Shen family, where a ghost was supposedly killing people, within those three days.
Xue Langyu: Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. Solving a wrongful death case is a good deed, too.
That night, within the Shen residence, the Court of Judicial Review official drew his sword in a flash of brilliance, shocking the martial world.

Xue Langyu went to the emperor for the antidote, but Emperor Xie Yan unexpectedly pressed a sword to his neck, smiling brightly.
"I thought you were useless. Turns out you're not so harmless after all. Don't think that dressing up as him lets you play tricks on me. Tell me, where did you learn that sword technique?"
Xue Langyu: "..."
His gaze fell on the memorial tablet behind Xie Yan:
[Memorial tablet for my beloved master, Xue Langyu]
So how had the little brat he'd adopted all those years ago become emperor?!
*Xie Yan x Xue Langyu, younger gong
*The gong thinks he's a widower with resentment to spare; the shou is a legendary figure who talks nonsense, acts irreverently, but gets the job done
*One-on-one, both physically and emotionally pure, mutual love, firmly together, no switching or breaking up
*Mainly martial-world mystery cases, with a little court intrigue; a lighthearted ensemble story
Theme: Strive to improve yourself
