The Brocade-Clad Guard Who Never Returned

In the fifth year of Tianshun, a demon appeared before the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who had always ruled the capital with impunity. The demon wore a silver mask. Within a month, twenty-three high-ranking officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard had died at her hands. Thousand-Captain Yang Chuan vowed to crack the case and take her head. The Commander, Xu, promised a thousand taels of gold as a reward. But only a few days later, the demon took off her mask. She curled her vermilion lips into a smile, held out an imperial edict in bright yellow, and stepped up onto a chair. Her cool, clear gaze swept over Yang Chuan. "Lord Yang, here I am, your thousand taels of gold. Feeling moved?" Yang Chuan: "...I wouldn't dare. I wouldn't dare." [Content warnings] * No ranking checks. No reposting, whether for profit or not. * This story is partially based on historical research. The setting and some characters are real, but the story is entirely made up. As a novel, it inevitably takes some liberties with real historical figures. As the author, I'll do my best not to vilify historical figures, but please don't mistake fiction for history. Sending love. * I dislike the current trend of using premarital sex as a standard for judging a character's morality. I don't agree with the suggestion that authors should clearly state in the blurb whether the protagonist is a virgin. So, as a matter of principle, I refuse to answer questions about whether any character is a virgin. If this matters to you, please don't ask, so we can avoid unnecessary arguments.
