Sorry, dears! I picked the wrong publication date for this upcoming story, which would affect its chances of making the rankings, so I opened a new one. QAQ

The newly appointed top scholar, Pei Zhiyi, has earned the emperor's favor and been appointed Deputy Prefect of the Capital Prefecture, where he will assist Prince Chu in governing the capital.
The court officials muttered among themselves: Prince Chu, Li Yun, is unrestrained and loves to live extravagantly. That cold, upright top scholar is in for trouble.
Who would have thought that on his very first day in office, Pei Zhiyi would drag Prince Chu out of a beauty's arms at a pleasure house?
On the second day, he shut down the gambling den Prince Chu liked to visit.
On the third day, Prince Chu tried to set off fireworks to win a beauty's smile, only for Pei Zhiyi to ruin his plans with a single “Fire Ban.”
Prince Chu could take it no longer and declared he would drive Pei Zhiyi out within a month.
Pei Zhiyi said calmly, “I'm afraid Your Highness isn't up to the task.”
A month passed. Prince Chu couldn't find fault with Pei Zhiyi, but unexpectedly discovered his secret:
The presumptuous top scholar was actually a woman.
Pei Zhiyi: “What will it take for Your Highness to keep my secret?”
Prince Chu smiled like a fox. “Then... Deputy Prefect, put on women's clothes and dance for me.”
A sweet historical mystery with a light touch of suspense. Both are each other's first love. (The male lead only looks like a playboy.)
