Pei Lingyi was born into the Ming Dynasty. Her parents doted on her, and her older brother spoiled her. She always thought she'd been handed the script for a carefree life.
Until her father died suddenly and her brother disappeared, leaving her mother in tears every day.
Pei Lingyi had never dreamed before, but now she began having nightmare after nightmare, and every nightmare came true. One murder after another followed!
Pei Lingyi puts on her brother's official uniform and takes his place as a junior officer in the Northern Commandery Branch of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, beginning her daily life as a Ming Dynasty civil servant.

Strange murders have recently been occurring one after another in the capital. Lu Yunxiang personally investigates them, and every time he arrives at a crime scene, there's a junior officer with food in one hand and the other examining the scene.
At the end of his patience, Lu Yunxiang asks, “What's your name?”
Pei Lingyi swallows the crispy biscuit in her mouth. “This humble one is Pei Linghuai, sir.”
Lu Yunxiang: “???”
How interesting. He sent out a Pei Linghuai, and now there's another Pei Linghuai in the capital?
