To escape the fate of becoming the original male lead's plaything, Ouyang Yi decisively marries a man she meets through a matchmaker. Her husband is a low-ranking jailer who guards the condemned prisoners. He earns little, and can't even read... To protect his pride, she lies and says she copies books for a living. What she doesn't know is that he is also concealing his identity while investigating a case. At home, They are an ordinary couple, respectful and devoted to each other. Outside, She is the renowned Investigator Jiu of the Ministry of Justice, a brilliant sleuth who investigates murders, examines rotting corpses, and is the bane of serial killers.

The nameless female corpse on Mount Xiji, the sudden death of a high-ranking court official, the disappearance of students, the fire at the county magistrate's residence in Wannian County, the robbery and murder of a minor official from the Ministry of Revenue, the top graduate of this year's palace examination falling from a tower, a murder before the emperor, military funds sunk in the river... She draws ever closer to the truth behind her own abduction years ago... And he gradually uncovers the masterminds behind a host of murder cases... As they solve one case after another, they discover each other's identities, and their true feelings. * In the past, Liang Bai was obsessed with martial arts, and the Great General Liang wanted nothing to do with romance. Women only slow down my sword! Later, the Great General Liang would spend all day wheedling, "Yiyi, there'll always be more cases to solve. Can you spend tonight with me instead?" -He was cold and passionless, until one day, a blaze flared on a lonely mountain and he saw a brilliant light. - A few notes: 1. A sweet 1v1 romance, a genius investigator vs. a cold-blooded killer. 2. A fake marriage turns into true love. Expect case-solving and secret identities; the male lead has two secret identities. 3. The female lead is a genius, and the male lead is a powerhouse. Together, they punish evil and uphold justice! This is a fictionalized setting inspired by the period from the late reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang to the time before Wu Zetian became emperor.

His arrival brings the surroundings to an abrupt silence. He steps closer and gently pinches her chin. "This is now Song territory. Time to pay your taxes, Boss Qian."
