The Magistrate's Daughter

By imperial decree, Yan Zheng was designated the Third Prince's consort.

The Third Prince was suspicious by nature and prone to unpredictable moods. He was no suitable match for her.

To escape this fate, she needed someone to rely on.

While accompanying the imperial family on a tour, she met Qin Yunshen, who had come to investigate a case.

Marquis Qin came from a distinguished family. He was handsome and powerful, and no one dared stand in his way.

Perhaps he was the key to breaking her predicament.

She wanted to seize this opportunity, but got caught up in the struggle for power among the princes and a human trafficking case.

Once the foremost noblewoman, she now became an aide in the investigation.

The investigation went remarkably smoothly. Clearly, someone was making things easy for them.

By then, the case had been solved, and they would soon return to the capital.

"Miss Yan, if we join forces, we'll both get what we want."

"Get what we want..."

After driving away the unwelcome guest, an idea took root in Yan Zheng's heart.

She wanted power. Only then could she make plans for herself, and for women.

From that moment on, the path to becoming a female official began to unfold beside her.

The human trafficking case threw the capital into a state of panic, so the emperor specially dispatched someone to investigate.

That person was Qin Yunshen.

A wager sent the marquis far from the capital to uncover the truth

and give many people the justice they deserved.

After that, a fellow traveler joined him on the road to investigate the case.

She claimed to be cold and heartless, but in truth, her heart was with the common people.

Perhaps she, too, deserved justice, Qin Yunshen thought.

At first, Yan Zheng was merely someone he could make use of.

Only when her decree was discovered and she began to distance herself from him did he finally understand.

He closed his eyes and saw his own heart clearly.

"Let me help you."

Clearing every obstacle from Yan Zheng's path was his way of making amends. And in the end, Qin Yunshen did just that.

Now the court is stable, and Yan Zheng holds an important official post, revising the new laws with her brush.

A head suddenly leans in beside her. Qin Yunshen has come to "pester" her again.

"Sister, I don't want to be with you without a proper title anymore."

"Please, Sister... give me a place by your side."
