The Confidants Started Bickering

After accidentally falling into the water, she could only speak another person's thoughts at certain times.

Jiang Yaobai, Commandery Princess of Ningle, was anxious and troubled. After investigating, she found out about Qi Yaolu, heir to the Prince of Kangqing, an infamous wastrel in the Great Xu.

She rolled up her sleeves, ready to rely on herself and find a solution. But after going around in circles, they ended up traveling together after all.

They left the city amid bickering. Good grief, corpses were rising up to attack people here, a ghost wedding was causing tears and chaos there, evil spirits had claimed the road ahead for a mass grave, and a fox had kicked a bear flying behind them!

Jiang Yaobai and Qi Yaolu, seeing this for the first time: Wow. I must still be dreaming!

Jiang Yaobai and Qi Yaolu, seeing it again: Wow. Could our elders really be right that the world outside is dangerous?

Jiang Yaobai and Qi Yaolu, seeing it yet again: Hey, ghost up ahead! Could you show us the way while you're at it?

At long last, they made it back to the inn and rested until the middle of the night.

Her maid, Taoxiang, knocked on the door of Qingsheng, the personal attendant, and hissed, "Get up and bring your master some toilet paper! Tell him to stop bothering my princess!"

Pairing: A clever, highly intelligent commandery princess who gets lost easily X a versatile heir with a great memory who can't tell directions

A few things to know:

1. The symptom of saying the opposite of what one thinks gradually gets worse.

2. As the leads' understanding grows, the world is gradually revealed as supernatural, shifting from an ordinary setting to a paranormal one.

The Marquis Wants to Resign

The golden age of the Imperial Brocade Guard!

The story of Third Marquis Luo Huakai of the Imperial Brocade Guard, who finds a younger imperial sister and, along the way, gets himself "married off."

Latest completed novel: The Many Faces of Si Cheng

Ye Shu, the newly appointed inner-division Si Cheng of the Imperial Brocade Guard, enjoys trying out different lives and loves role-playing. She seems to be unbelievably lucky, and in the eyes of the world, she's an arrogant, obsequious sycophant who fawns on the powerful and bullies those beneath her.

Ye Shu: That's right, I'm acting. Pretty good, huh? ^v^

Shen Xiu, an experienced Si Cheng at the Court of Judicial Review, has been working hard to get what he wants. He especially can't stand how the Imperial Brocade Guard's outer division treats the current emperor as if he were nobody. He's a true loyalist to the throne.

Shen Xiu: Of course, it would be even better if His Majesty would give in sooner. =∧=

Two people who had nothing to do with each other are suddenly thrown together by an imperial decree and forced to investigate cases, uncovering countless secrets along the way.

Shen Xiu: Huh! She's a woman! Huh! His Majesty knew she was a woman! Huh!! So she really is her! >v<

Ye Shu: Huh, how did he find out? Huh, that's my brother? Huh, so... that's how it is..., _

During the investigations:

Shen Xiu: Shu Lang, shouldn't we get two rooms after all? ≧v≦

Ye Shu, trying to keep her composure: No, this makes it easier to get things done. ^_^

Shen Xiu: Shu Lang, this dress... I don't have to wear it, do I? ≧o≦

Ye Shu: Disguises are absolutely necessary! ^v^

And finally:

Ye Shu: By the way, how did you figure out I was a woman back then?

Shen Xiu: Well, that night... ≧v≦

Ye Shu: Hmm?

Shen Xiu: I watched you soak in the lake all night to get the poison out. =_=!

Ye Shu: Huh! OoO

Shen Xiu: I also helped scare off your enemies, gathered dead branches, stayed with you while you dried off, and escorted you back to the city! ≧v≦

Ye Shu: Huh! ≧o≦

Shen Xiu: So, how about we get married? ≧o≦

A few more warnings:

1. The writing gets increasingly silly. If the beginning seems too serious, feel free to skip ahead.

2. The story starts with the male lead, and the female lead appears later.

3. There are mysteries, so bring your brain along. (You can leave it behind if you like. I'll solve them either way.)

4. The relationship between the leads develops gradually. Things aren't exactly great between them at first.

5. The parts in the imperial palace are more serious. You can easily lose your head for acting up in a place like that.

Ye Shu, a female lead with sky-high intelligence and average martial prowess X Shen Xiu, a male lead with average intelligence and sky-high martial prowess

P.S. The story is told from both the male lead's and female lead's perspectives.

The goals for this story:

Double standards! Flirting both ways! Obvious sweetness! Subtle sweetness! Sweetness in every chapter!

Theme: Independence and self-reliance matter, but cooperation is essential too.
