[Laid-back forensic examiner × sleepless tyrant]
“Your Highness, why are you out taking a walk at midnight, covered in blood?”
“Your Majesty, the palace mosquitoes are enormous.”
“...I'd have to be an idiot to believe you.”
On her first day as a concubine relegated to the Cold Palace, Xun Liu decides to lie flat. She'll raise cats, sunbathe, and eat whatever she likes until she dies. This time, she'll be a happy little couch potato. But then a palace maid dies in the nearby laundry bureau... When Xun Liu climbs over a wall to examine the body and runs into the sleepless emperor, she thinks she's done for!
But after hearing her autopsy report, the spirit in the book finally gets a good night's sleep for the first time since ascending the throne. The next day, the radiant emperor issues an edict: Xun Liu, a concubine of the Cold Palace, is to move to a side hall of the Imperial Study immediately.
Everyone knows that the Great Zhou emperor is cruel and bloodthirsty, and cannot sleep at night.
She is the only medicine for my sleeplessness.
She is the only life I have when I cannot wake.
“Xun Liu, you are my life.”
“Quiet. I haven't finished writing my autopsy report.”
“I said you are my life.”
“Let's put that aside for now. Your Majesty, please pay me my wages.”
