[Blurb]

Qin Ruoya, a veteran criminal investigator who had solved countless major cases, died unexpectedly after being betrayed by her partner. She transmigrated into ancient times and became a concubine-born daughter of a marquis's household.

She had no interest in fighting over the inner household, and repeatedly left the estate to avoid it. By chance, she helped a middle-aged butcher clear his name and found her first companion. Thus began her career as a detective in ancient times.

She caught a prophetic murderer who had evaded capture in the capital for decades, solved the mystery of the Duke's household's true and false heirs, and exposed the enemy state's twenty-year conspiracy against Dongli...

Qin-gongzi, whose cases were solved with uncanny brilliance, quickly became the person most admired by the people.

A famous matchmaker came to propose a marriage, but Prince Yu caught sight of her, had her thrown out of the estate, and declared that if anyone else dared to come with a proposal, he'd cut off the heads of their entire clan.

In an instant,

word spread that Prince Yu was in love with Qin-gongzi and preferred men.

Prince Yu, green with jealousy, said, “When will the world find out that Qin-gongzi is my princess consort?”

Qin Ruoya pulled out another new case file from who-knows-where. “Soon, soon. I'll tell everyone once this case is solved!”

Prince Yu was speechless: “...”

This was already the fifth case she'd used as an excuse to put him off.

There was no hope of getting to the truth!

Chen Ke transmigrated into the daughter of a low-ranking soldier stationed at the frontier.

Life on the border was harsh and miserable, and the troops were badly outnumbered. She was always afraid the city would fall one day and she'd be captured and abused.

To make sure that never happened, she tricked her father into going home, kept him there, and took his place in the army.

Five months later,

Chen Ke had not only wiped out the enemy forces, but also captured thirteen cities in a row, becoming a renowned female general.

Her father, still stuck at home, was dumbfounded: ???

What was going on?

Wait, I can't quite wrap my head around this yet. Let me think it through.

With the border pacified, Chen Ke's parents wanted to find a spouse for their daughter.

Every soldier stationed at the border eagerly put himself forward, sending gifts to win her favor.

Chen Ke's parents were spoiled for choice.

Her father: “It's so hard to choose. I feel like none of them are good enough for my daughter...”

Her mother nodded. “True.”

They couldn't settle on a match. Chen Ke returned to the capital to receive her title, and the emperor granted her an excellent marriage.

Her future husband was none other than Yang Huaizhou, the Grand Tutor's son.

They said Yang Huaizhou was outstanding in both civil and military arts, and excelled at all six gentlemanly accomplishments.

Many people thought Chen Ke wasn't worthy of Yang Huaizhou.

On their wedding day, the veil was lifted.

Her husband beneath it was indeed handsome, but...

Chen Ke asked in confusion, “Who are you? Where's the Grand Tutor's most outstanding son?”

Yang Huaizhou blinked. “General, that's me.”

Chen Ke snapped, “I've seen him. You're not him!”

Yang Huaizhou replied, “I am, General.”

Chen Ke eyed him suspiciously. “You are what?”

Yang Huaizhou smiled pleasantly. “The Grand Tutor's... most outstanding son.”

Whether Yang Huaizhou really was the Grand Tutor's most outstanding son remained to be seen, but Chen Ke thought he was unquestionably the most skilled at winning her favor.

At court, when Chen Ke argued with the civil officials, Yang Huaizhou argued even more fiercely. When Chen Ke went to war, he accompanied the army, took care of her and offered strategies. When treacherous officials framed her and she lost power, he ran himself ragged and risked his life to help her rise again...

She wouldn't trade a husband who knew how to win her favor for even a chancellor!

P.S. Super sweet and easygoing. Come check it out!
