True Cases from Ancient Times

My next novel will be The Demon Lord Still Hasn't Made a Move. The synopsis is at the very bottom.

Synopsis

Song Yuan was the daughter of the General Who Guards the North. She came from a glorious and powerful family, and was engaged to the refined and elegant Fifth Prince. She was the envy of every young lady in the capital.

Then a fire destroyed the entire General Who Guards the North's residence. She was the only survivor.

Relatives who had once been close to her turned against her overnight, and her usually upright and proper fiancé coldly shut the door in her face.

From that moment on, Song Yuan resolved to uncover the truth behind the massacre with her own efforts.

Five years later.

The Ministry of Justice in the capital had a female constable. No one knew where she came from. She had a face like peach blossoms and skin like jade, and looked every inch the young lady, but her gift for solving cases was unmatched.

There was no unsolved case she couldn't crack.

A strange case sparked by a brothel scandal opened the door to a series of sinister upheavals in the capital.

But this little case not only implicated the horrifying incident of a city wiped out, it also connected to the fiancé who had turned against her.

The man she thought she would never see again kept appearing before her, and had even asked the emperor to grant them a marriage?

Jiang Yu had loved someone since he was young.

She was sunny, forthright, and dazzling.

He once thought he could protect her all his life, but to save her life, he had no choice but to treat her coldly.

He had broken his promise. Thinking he had no chance to approach her again, he could only hide in a corner behind his rakish, pleasure-seeking facade and watch her from afar.

But he never expected a case to tie their fates together once more.

This time, he would never let go.

A headstrong, justice-loving female constable x a pure-hearted Fifth Prince who seems sweet but has a dark side, then a sweet side

Reader's note:

1. An alternate world, very alternate. It's about as grounded as the author's brain.

2. The logic isn't airtight. This is just for fun.

My next novel will be The Demon Lord Still Hasn't Made a Move.

Synopsis:

The biggest mistake Jiang Chanyu ever made was falling hopelessly in love with the righteous and brilliant First Sword Venerable, Lin Zhiyan, despite being a spy for the Demon Realm.

She betrayed the Demon Realm for him, only to end up having her skin flayed and her bones crushed.

Before she died, she knelt on the Immortal-Slaying Platform and asked him if he had ever loved her.

The peerless, handsome prodigy looked at her coldly and said, his thin lips barely moving, "Demon Realm vermin must be exterminated!"

Given a second life, she resolved never to repeat her past mistakes. She would be a diligent, dedicated spy and help the Demon Realm destroy the Divine Realm and unite the world!

But after working herself to the bone in the Divine Realm and preparing for the Demon Realm's counterattack, the Demon Lord... still hasn't made a move?

-

Lin Zhiyan was born from chaos, with a naturally rebellious nature, and was born to rule the Demon Realm.

To unite the divine and demonic realms, he changed his appearance and infiltrated the Divine Realm, becoming its First Sword Venerable.

Just as victory seemed within reach, he suddenly developed an inner demon.

In his midnight dreams, he kept seeing a woman kneeling in misery before the Immortal-Slaying Platform.

His heart felt like it was being torn apart, and he couldn't sleep at night.

Then one day, among the crowds of immortal envoys at Yunhu Peak, he seemed to see that very same face.

For the first time, the usually cold and heartless Demon Lord put his grand plans on hold because he couldn't bear to see a woman cry.

-

Not long afterward, while passing the back mountain, Lin Zhiyan happened to glimpse a familiar figure hiding in a cave. Demonic energy was pouring off her, impossible to conceal, as she muttered to herself.

"The Demon Lord... why hasn't he made a move yet?"

Lin Zhiyan, the Demon Lord: ?
