Lord Xiaoyu Solves Cases and Blows His Cover

The Genius Detective Girl and Her Pure-Hearted Cat Knight

Mystery and detective work x jianghu adventures x awkward young love

The girl Yu Qiao is a brilliant detective, sharp-eyed enough to notice the tiniest details.

But trapped in the identity of her elder brother, Li Hezhen, she is forced to act as his stand-in.

Though she has a thousand reasons to refuse, she swallows her resentment for the sake of her family, doing everything in her brother's place, even marrying a wife for him.

But on their wedding night, the bride seems a little strange.

She's strong, her voice is deep, and she seems... not to be a woman?

The white-clad thief Ling Ersan roams the jianghu, despising those who bully and exploit others.

He hears that the Li family is arranging a marriage, but the bride is weeping and unwilling to wed.

Ling Ersan gives a few cold laughs and declares righteously, "Some rich bully is forcing you to marry, huh? I'll marry you instead."

He puts on the bridal gown and covers his face with a veiled hat. He wants to see what gives the Li family the right to throw their weight around.

He sneaks into the bridal chamber and sits on the wedding bed.

Instead, he stumbles upon a blazing tragedy, fire reaching up to the sky.

The two travel together to Chang'an, solving one strange case after another. She charges forward fearlessly, while he protects her in silence.

At the end of their journey, she clears her own name and brings the truth to light for the world.
