------ This Novel ------

Modern-day lawyer Lin Zixing transmigrates into a novel aimed at male readers.

In the book, she is a Dali Temple Assistant who disguises herself as a man for love, and a pathetic admirer of the male lead, Prince Zhen. She gives everything she has to help him fight for the throne, only to end up beheaded.

Not long after her death, the male lead ascends the throne and marries his childhood sweetheart, making her empress.

Knowing the story inside out, Lin Zixing declares: A pathetic admirer? Not in this life! Wouldn't it be much nicer to be a lazy office worker who slacks off, leaves on time, and collects a salary while coasting through life?

But as it turns out, her boss, Fang Lizhou, the Chief of Dali Temple, is a workaholic obsessed with performance. If she doesn't investigate cases, he docks her pay.

With her salary about to take a hit, Lin Zixing has no choice but to dust off her old skills and use a modern lawyer's perspective to solve cases in ancient times.

To her surprise, she keeps getting promoted, earns titles and honors, and even becomes the best of buddies with her boss, Fang Lizhou.

But for some reason, the male lead, Prince Zhen, keeps showing up at her workplace to shower her with attention.

Thinking of the tragic end awaiting her in the book, Lin Zixing is terrified, so she tries to subtly get advice from Fang Lizhou.

Fang Lizhou, who already knows she's a woman disguised as a man, says, "Just get married..."

Lin Zixing shakes her head like a rattle drum. "That won't work. This subordinate has no one she can marry!"

He blinks, curls his lips into a faint smile, and takes out a jade pendant to hand her. "I suppose I could make a small sacrifice."

Lin Zixing: ???

I treat my boss like a friend, but all he wants is to pursue me.

One-on-one romance, both are virgins, happy ending

---- Next Novel: "Is the Daoist Prince Uncle Jealous Today?" ------

Jiang Yi'an is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Ren's household. She's mischievous and lively,

and loves riding through Chang'an with a crowd of young dandies, betting on cricket fights, and visiting taverns.

Who could have guessed that when the new emperor takes the throne, he would betroth her to the Ninth Prince, her uncle by marriage, who is already halfway to a life of cultivation in a Daoist temple?

Jiang Yi'an: What am I supposed to do? I won't be able to have fun anymore!

Before the wedding, the Ninth Prince speaks to her earnestly, like an elder:

"From now on, I shall devote myself to Daoist cultivation. You may leave the residence and enjoy yourself as you please. When the time is right, I will enter a Daoist temple and become a monk. All my property will be yours, and you may come and go as you like."

Jiang Yi'an is delighted. After the wedding, she calls on her friends and carries on as before, living a life of bliss.

Jiang Yi'an plays polo with a group of young gentlemen, and Li Changyun catches her at it.

Jiang Yi'an visits a pleasure house with a group of young gentlemen, and Li Changyun catches her at it again.

Looking at Li Changyun's increasingly gloomy expression and the hand slowly sliding around her waist, Jiang Yi'an thinks:

Uncle told me to enjoy myself, but why does he look a little angry...

He used to be so polite. Why is he getting handsy with me now...

The Ninth Prince, Li Changyun, is handsome and has won great distinction in battle.

Everyone in Chang'an sighs that he has the talent to be emperor, yet willingly devotes himself to Daoism. The royal family has even forced him to take a little rascal as his wife.

Surely Jiang Yi'an is destined to become a discarded wife.

But one day, people suddenly see the Ninth Prince take off his Daoist robes and put on fine clothes.

Like a young man, he rides through the streets, chasing after Jiang Yi'an, whose laughter rings like silver bells.

Only Li Changyun knows that every night he suffers splitting headaches and nightmares.

Only his little wife, Jiang Yi'an, can be his cure...

In this life and the last, Jiang Yi'an is the only ray of light in his life...

(A little scene)

Li Changyun corners Jiang Yi'an by a rockery. He takes her little ear between his lips, then whispers gently:

"Which young gentleman do you want to go out with tomorrow?"

With tears in her eyes, Jiang Yi'an lists every surname she can think of, including Xie, Zhang, and Lu, before finally stammering:

"My uncle..."

Jiang Yi'an thought she had married an ascetic Daoist, but it turns out she married a jealous wolf in sheep's clothing...
