The Female Litigator of Chang'an (Transmigrate into a Book)

(The story is complete, so read with confidence. A related upcoming novel on the same theme, Chang'an's Female Judge (Transmigration into a Book), has its blurb below.)

Modern lawyer Qu Zhaoxue transmigrates into a sweet romance novel and becomes the daughter of a low-ranking official at the Court of Judicial Review.

In the book, she is the heroine's cousin, a cannon-fodder villainess who schemes to seduce the male lead. In the end, she's imprisoned for poisoning someone and sentenced to death by the righteous male supporting character.

Despised by everyone, Qu Zhaoxue scoffs. What's the point of landing a rich husband when building a career is so much better?

When she's framed for murder, she clears her name!

When the top scholar next door dies by suicide, she refuses to accept it and fights to uncover the truth!

When an elderly woman seeks justice for her son, she naturally does everything in her power to get her justice!

But why is it that every time she goes to court, the righteous male supporting character is the one presiding over the case?

The righteous male supporting character is Prince Gu Chenyuan of Xiang Commandery, a high-ranking and impartial judicial official in Chang'an.

In his verdict, he once described Qu Zhaoxue as "jealous by nature, repulsive in appearance, and deserving of her punishment."

But then a female litigator suddenly appears in the capital, laying out every injustice in her petitions and arguing every grievance with a silver tongue.

In court, Gu Chenyuan watches Qu Zhaoxue, dressed in a man's robe, gaze up at him with sparkling eyes. Her cherry-red lips part, and she slowly bows. "Litigator Qu Zhaoxue greets Your Highness."

Gu Chenyuan: Nobody hit me, so why does my face hurt?

------ Upcoming novel: Chang'an's Female Judge (Transmigration into a Book) ------

Modern lawyer Lin Zixing transmigrates into a male-oriented novel.

In the book, she is a female Court of Judicial Review official who disguises herself as a man for love, and the male lead Prince Zhen's devoted lackey. She gives everything she has to help him claim the throne, only to end up decapitated.

Not long after her death, the male lead ascends the throne and marries his own beloved to be empress.

Having read the story, Lin Zixing declares: A lovesick lackey? Not in this lifetime! Wouldn't it be much better to be a lazy office worker who slacks off, leaves on time, and collects a paycheck?

Who could have guessed that her boss, Fang Lizhou, the Court of Judicial Review's chief, would be a workaholic obsessed with performance reviews? If he doesn't solve cases, he docks her pay.

With her paycheck about to go into the red, Lin Zixing has no choice but to return to her old profession and use a modern lawyer's perspective to handle cases in the ancient world.

To her surprise, she rises through the ranks, earns a title, and even becomes good friends with her boss, Fang Lizhou.

But for some reason, the male lead, Prince Zhen, keeps showing up at her workplace to check on her.

Terrified by the tragic fate awaiting her in the book, Lin Zixing carefully tries to get advice from Fang Lizhou.

Fang Lizhou, who has long known she is a woman disguised as a man: "Just get married..."

Lin Zixing shakes her head like a rattle: "That won't do. This subordinate has no one suitable to marry!"

He casually takes out a jade pendant and hands it to her. "I suppose I can make a small sacrifice."

Lin Zixing: ???
