-[Blurb]-

Xie Chi is the eldest legitimate son of a grand secretary and the emperor's handpicked third-place laureate.

With a face as beautiful as a woman's and a voice like a jade flute, he has the noblewomen of the capital swooning over him.

A secret imperial decree turns him from a Hanlin Academy editor into a temporary county yamen worker.

Xie Chi, handsome and long-legged, is delighted.

-

From the capital to a small county in the southwest,

one murder follows another, and the clues are tangled and baffling.

Behind the truth lie the good and evil of human nature.

When the mysteries are finally solved,

Xie Chi, the temporary worker, calmly declares:

Good and evil both meet their due, and every mystery has clues that can unravel it.

It's just that his future wife is too good at fighting, and that's a bit stressful!

1. No transmigration, no reborn. The setting is modeled on the Ming dynasty. Please don't nitpick the history.

2. Light mystery, focused on solving cases, with romance as a side dish (more or less).

3. No ghosts or gods. It's all people.

4. A slow burn, with half the story from each lead's point of view.

5. Updated daily at 9 a.m. If there is no update or it is late, I'll mention it in the author's notes and ask for leave.
