Blurb:
To catch a flower-snatching bandit, Lin Yang, a female constable from the Jiangzhou Prefectural Office, puts on a wedding dress and climbs into a bridal sedan. But her colleagues get confused and take the wrong sedan, carrying her through the gates of the Zhou estate.
The wedding rites are done, and they've entered the bridal chamber.
What is she supposed to do about this ridiculous mix-up?
Lin Yang grips her sword and admits her mistake. "Now that we've cleared up the misunderstanding, let's call off the wedding."
Zhou Tangcuo grits his teeth, one eye bruised purple. "I got beaten half the night, and she thinks she can just call it off?"
There's no way they can simply call it off...
A spoiled young master with a hopeless crush x a blunt, no-nonsense female constable
Theme: The guilty will eventually face justice
I want to see the extra story about the Taoist priest and Shao Qing, and the extra story about the princess and the third young master.
More—new——ah
It is a bit subtle that foreign ministers directly enter the harem.
Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Shaoqing can also talk about love.
There are some problems with the setting of Tianzimeng case... It will take a while to revise it
Catching insects: Liu Huai was slightly startled, is it Liu Jian?
Happy New Year's Eve! One of the best novels I have read in the past two years! It's a pity that the span is too long... I'll start watching again soon^_-
Dear, when will Liu Huai's new article be published? Want to see it very much
Happy New Year! Happy birthday?
Why is it locked at the back? I saved it for a long time and was about to check the results and found that it was locked.
