Jiang Feng never imagined that simply reading a novel would land him inside it.
Worse, he’s become a disposable coroner in a mystery novel, and the moment he opens his eyes, he’s caught up in a wealthy merchant’s murder by poison.
The heterochromatic, handsome Ye Xianqing makes a fleeting appearance at the crime scene, and both of them are named as suspects.
The prefect is eager to close the case and plans to pin the blame on Jiang Feng, a man with no roots or support.
Thinking fast, Jiang Feng rushes toward Ye Xianqing, who has just been arrested. “Husband! Our hundred-day marriage pact is still in effect. Under the law, I’m temporarily exempt from criminal liability!”
A flicker of surprise passes through Ye Xianqing’s icy, mismatched eyes. “Who dares lay a hand on my wife!”

Jiang Feng only wanted to stay alive, but he never expected their “fake marriage” to last a full hundred days.
With the case shrouded in mystery and the real culprit lurking in the shadows, he and Ye Xianqing have no choice but to work side by side to solve one crisis after another.
By day, Jiang Feng is a coroner who views corpses with cold detachment;
by night, he is Ye Xianqing’s public excuse for being “desperate to protect his wife.”
The hundred days are almost up, and their fake marriage contract is about to end.
Jiang Feng begins plotting how to get back to the real world.
But just as the contract nears its end, Ye Xianqing lifts his cool gaze and pulls him into his arms. “The hundred days are over. From now on, we’ll never be parted, in life or death.”
