Sharp-tongued, scheming former great general, now constable x lively, beautiful young judicial officer who disguises herself as a man, but is exposed early
Romance:
Gu Chengxuan disguises herself as a man and joins the Court of Judicial Review, only to have her gender exposed on the very first day by Pei Yu, heir to the Marquis of Dingguo. To stay alive, she becomes his eager flatterer every day: "Lord Pei is always right! Lord Pei is so wise!"
Later, Pei Yu asks her, "Are you in love with me?"
She instinctively replies, "Lord Pei is always right!"
Pei Yu rejoices inwardly: I knew it.
Plot:
In the thirteenth year of Jianping, the family of Gu Huai, a Grand Academician with immense power at court, vanished without a trace overnight. Gu Chengxuan, his young daughter, escaped death and fled far from home.
Ten years later, a newlywed bride is found decapitated in a manner matching a sinister nursery rhyme passed around the streets. The Crown Prince of Xiliang dies in a rain of ghostly fire. And then there's the Gu family's massacre from years ago. Each case is connected to the next, and together they point to a terrifying crisis that could shake the foundations of the Great Liang dynasty.
The orphaned daughter of the Gu family assumes the name Cheng Xuan and disguises herself as a man to join the Court of Judicial Review, where she meets Pei Yu, heir to the Marquis of Dingguo. Together, they solve one strange case after another and avert crisis after crisis.
Just as they think everything has settled, they never imagine that the most dangerous person is often hiding in the most unexpected place...
A little extra:
Many years later, Gu Chengxuan asks, "Lord Pei, how did you know I was a woman the first time you saw me?"
Pei Yu: "Well..."
Gu Chengxuan: "We're engaged now. Why can't you tell me?"
Pei Yu (embarrassed): "Because I accidentally touched..."
Gu Chengxuan: "Touched what? Say that again!"
Pei Yu (aggrieved): "Weren't you the one who asked me to tell you?!"

Synopsis for the new novel The Outlaw Zhang San Marries into the Palace:
Su Miaomiao transmigrates into a melodramatic romance novel. The sweet and gentle heroine sails through life and marries the prince, eventually becoming empress.
Is she the sweet, gentle heroine? No way!
Su Miaomiao is totally screwed. She knows she's been absurdly lucky since childhood, but she's transmigrated into the role of the prince's concubine, a vicious supporting character who gets exposed as a spy as soon as she appears and is killed off shortly afterward. Isn't that a bit much?
She has to lie low until she can return to the real world. Until then...
The male lead: "You have one last chance. Tell me what use you are to me."
Su Miaomiao thinks for a long time, but can't come up with anything.
She wails inwardly: I can play Honor of Kings! I can help you rank up! But would you even want that? Sob, sob~
The adviser: "She's useless. We should just kill her."
Su Miaomiao, who studied criminal investigation, likes watching Professor Luo Xiang's videos while she eats, and loves detective stories, suddenly gets an idea: "I can help you solve cases!"
The male lead, his adviser, and the sweet heroine: "You?"
Later, after seeing how she solves cases, the male lead is won over: "You can't be a noble family's daughter. Who are you really?"
Su Miaomiao: "I'm Zhang San, the outlaw beyond the law."
Later still, on the night Su Miaomiao is named empress,
The male lead: "Zhang San, I, in this life..."
Su Miaomiao: "I take back what I said before! My! Name! Is! Not! Zhang! San!"
Theme: The net of heaven is vast, but lets nothing through
After reading two cases, since the third case has not been finished yet, I will leave my comments here. This article is really rare, mainly in several aspects: The first is the completeness of the case. Although it is not too complicated, I can vaguely guess it after seeing half of the case, but the thoughts and inferences of each character are all reasonable and reasonable. There is no sense of disconnection where the reasoning is suddenly forced from a God's perspective. The thoughts of each character are closer to "If I were involved, I would think the same way"; Secondly, the emotional changes of the plot characters (both the protagonist and the supporting characters) are synchronized with the investigation, and the interlaced rhythm is well controlled. In the past, when reading detective stories, I often encountered that the author was exhausted in order to keep the case compact and unable to describe the details of the characters' interactions, so he had to suddenly forcefully add the so-called sweet pet plot in some strange places to advance the emotional drama. It is rare for the emotional changes of the characters in this article to be integrated into the plot itself. Whether it is the interaction between the male and female protagonists, the changes in other characters' views on the heroine, or even the changes in the mentality of the supporting characters, they all happen step by step and will not appear abrupt; Finally, there is the plot rhythm and update frequency. The stable updates and moderate pace of this article make it look so comfortable. It is true that the quality of an article should not depend on the update speed, but the inevitable disadvantage of serialized articles is that once it is delayed for a long time, readers will not remember the previous plot. This is particularly disadvantageous in detective stories. Some hints and details will not be remembered at all after a long delay. Therefore, if a detective story cannot be updated stably, it will be difficult to pick it up once it is dropped. The same goes for the word count. Sometimes the first few chapters are forgotten and even the author himself digresses. So to a certain extent, I only dared to jump in after seeing the author's steady updates. The first two volumes were of similar length, and he obviously had a well-planned rhythm. The last case is still being updated, but at least up to this point, I think the quality of the detective stories I have read is quite high. I don't know why it has not been included in V. Given its quality, it should be better promoted. PS. The author might as well consider optimizing the introduction. The current introduction seems a bit weak in the investigation part.
This book is quite nice! The plot is tenable, and the romance between the male and female protagonists is sweet. Except for the ending, which is a little rushed, I feel that the writing is really good, and it's pretty good in the detective genre! (Especially since I read dozens of ancient detective novels some time ago, and by comparison, I feel that this one can score high~)
The ending is too hasty, right?
Mr. Xie is so crazy. In fact, I kind of dislike this persona. He is as cold as jade but is still in the shadows.
Yesterday I checked my postgraduate entrance examination results and failed; today I won the lottery and suddenly felt that life was not that bad.
It was tied. I guessed that Xie was the sect leader, but I didn't expect that the article hadn't entered V yet.
I've read Chapter 63 and haven't entered V yet. This is the worst author I've encountered in so many years.
The authors have all come out to give out red envelopes, hurry up and start digging 🤩
The beginning was okay, but the ending was a little rushed.
It's really beautiful!!! All members have online IQs, there are no pig teammates, and everyone's image is well established. The case is also well written and the plot logic is very smooth! The only pity is that I feel (emphasis added) that the ending is a bit rushed, but the flaws are not outweighed. I really liked the article after reading it!
