The Guard Commander's Daughter (Ming Dynasty Transmigration)

After transmigrating into the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing era as the daughter of a Jinyiwei captain, Chu Yi has lived amid political turmoil since childhood. Every day, she listens to the emperor battle his ministers and watches the upright officials clash with Yan Song's faction. Life is rarely dull.

Her honest, good-natured father is a low-ranking seventh-grade Jinyiwei officer, yet he dreams of distinguishing himself amid the tangled politics and becoming the commander of the Northern Pacification Office.

Chu Yi: ...

Why can't he pick a more realistic dream?

But he's her own father, after all. If she doesn't help him, who will? With no family business to attend to and no marriage arranged for her, she secretly takes on fieldwork for the Jinyiwei to help him out.

Everyone in the Northern Pacification Office knows that Lord Lin's daughter is famous for her gentle temperament.

Not only is she quiet, gentle, well-read, and proper, she is also blessed with a lovely, graceful appearance. Plenty of young gentlemen in the capital fall for her at first sight.

People envy Lord Lin and sigh that every daughter should be like Lin Chuyi. But they don't know that she is behind the resolution of major cases, including the disappearance of an envoy, arson at a military farm, and the theft of gold.
