I’m an Honest Person. What Would I Know About Solving Crimes?

[A full subscription costs just 1.5 yuan. Thanks for supporting Jinjiang's official version!]

Lu Yiqiu transmigrated and became bound to a System called The Blunt Truth.

Before she started working at the county yamen, she had no idea what use this idiotic System could be beyond highlighting her poor people skills, so she kept quiet as much as possible.

That is, until a murder took place in her village. As the guide, she accompanied the prefect to investigate the crime scene.

She remarked offhandedly:

“The victim was so big you’d have a hard time pinning him down, even more so than a pig. The killer must be a hunter or a butcher.”

“Pretty stupid of the killer to come up with strangling someone from behind. He must have hurt his own hands pretty badly too.”

“Hey, Brother Sun, why are you trembling?”

Hunter Sun, who had returned to the crime scene after committing the murder, was sweating buckets. “You got me, brother.”

Lu Yiqiu never expected a few casual remarks to solve the case.

Prefect Shen Weizhi said, “Not bad. You’ve got something.”

He made Lu Yiqiu an offer.

Lu Yiqiu replied, “I’m an honest, simple person. What do I know about solving cases?”

Lured by the high salary, Lu Yiqiu officially joined the yamen and began investigating cases alongside Shen Weizhi every day.

Later, she heard people talking about a brilliant detective who could determine the cause and method of death with a single glance at a corpse. After searching around, she discovered the famous detective was none other than herself.

With her help, Shen Weizhi rose three ranks in quick succession and was appointed to an official post in the capital.

In no time, Lu Yiqiu became a coveted talent, with the Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Kaifeng Prefecture all fighting to recruit her.

Shen Weizhi was richer than an emperor, so the highest bidder always won.

Until someone sent over several exceptionally handsome men.

Lu Yiqiu waved them in while opening the door to welcome them inside.

That night, Lu Yiqiu felt a human shape on the bed.

When the candlelight came on, she saw Shen Weizhi in his official robes, perfumed and no longer his usual aloof self. His eyes were warm as he said, “A Qiu, look at me. I’m just as good as they are.”

Lu Yiqiu swallowed. “I must say, Lord Shen is still quite the charmer.”

One-on-one, both virgins, happy ending. Short-to-medium length. No children, and no suffering for the leads.

A lighthearted, funny amateur detective story =v=

A seemingly obedient, delicate flower of a pawn and male consort, but really a playful little fox who’s a master of bluffing

[Book Transmigration]

×

A seemingly hedonistic, useless emperor, but really a ruthless, brooding romantic who has endured hardship and bided his time

[Reborn]

[Bottom’s POV]

On his way to teach at a school in the mountains, a landslide took the life of Jing Wuhen, a young kindergarten teacher.

When he woke again, he had entered the revenge power fantasy he had read just days earlier, a novel with no romance, centered on a male protagonist. He had become a doomed male consort.

In the book, the late emperor died suddenly, and the other princes were still young. The male lead, the lowborn eldest prince born to a palace maid, was propped up on the throne. The great clans only wanted to raise him into a useless ruler, until the princes they backed were old enough to take the throne.

Everyone looked down on the male lead emperor for his indulgence and bloodthirstiness.

But Jing Wuhen knew he was a cold-blooded madman, nursing a grudge against the Chancellor’s residence for murdering his mother, biding his time and playing the fool until he could strike back.

As a male consort planted beside the emperor by the Chancellor’s residence to spy on him and humiliate him, Jing Wuhen had no favor from his family or the emperor, and knew nothing beyond teaching. To stay alive, he had no choice but to use the tactics he’d used with students and their parents to placate the various factions...

·

Not long afterward...

Emperor: “Jing Wuhen is intelligent and kind. I’m making him Empress!”

The late emperor’s surviving princes, princesses, and consorts: “Though Consort Jing is a man, he’s as understanding as a mother. He guides us and supports us in pursuing our dreams. We’re so moved!”

The various powerful ministers: “Consort Jing is such a capable spy. He keeps an eye on the emperor and even works hard to educate the princes and princesses. We’re touched!”

·

Later, the various factions finally realized...

The supposedly depraved emperor was actually a wise ruler.

The male consort who’d been nothing but a pawn had truly become an empress with real power.

The princes and princesses all chose to become storytellers or merchants. Not one of them wanted to be emperor.

Even the other consorts planted in the emperor’s harem as spies resigned of their own accord, eager to serve the people.

Only the old men, who cared about nothing but seizing power, were left to face the emperor’s retribution, sitting in the imperial prison and bewildered. “I’ll never understand you young people!”

[Top’s POV]

Reborn, Ying Jue Ming thought he would spend his whole life on the throne, calculating every move and utterly alone, just as he had in his previous life.

With the detached amusement of someone who already knew how things would end, he accepted the male consort’s offer of allegiance.

That was until he saw the man he should have hated risk everything to save disaster victims, and weep as he worked tirelessly in the face of widespread suffering.

Those who had once looked down on him, loathed him, or feared him now gathered steadfastly at his side because Jing Wuhen had come into their lives.

There he was, vibrant beneath the sunlight, like a god descended from heaven, illuminating his dark and empty heart.

[Reading Guide]

One-on-one, both virgins, happy ending.

An amateur court-intrigue story, a satisfying and sweet novel with a beloved protagonist.

An entirely fictional setting with no real-life inspirations. Please don’t overanalyze it.

Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
