[This Story]
Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, tsundere bottom x younger, outwardly proper, fatherly top
During a catastrophe in the royal family, General Jian Che betrayed his close friend Prince Yu. After stabbing him in the back, the two disappeared without a trace.
Three years later, the general returned the prince's body to the court. For his achievements in quelling the rebellion, he was appointed chancellor.
-Hundreds of years later-
Crown Prince Shen Che was drawn into a royal murder case.
Zhao Yu, the newly appointed Minister of Justice, met the crown prince for the first time. Just as the rumors said, the prince wore a black veil over his eyes and was blind.
But Zhao Yu was certain of two things:
First, in his previous life, he had died at this man's hands.
Second, the Soup of Forgetfulness must have been watered down.
Memories of his previous life came flooding back...
In this life, Zhao Yu wanted only to be an unshakable, iron-fisted detective.
But things didn't go as planned. After the blind crown prince was cleared of suspicion, he used "repaying a favor" as an excuse to show up at the Ministry of Justice every few days. He was skilled in combat and brilliant, capable of inspecting crime scenes and entering the morgue, and always ready to offer comfort, bandage wounds, and administer medicine.
If only he didn't keep skipping stones across Zhao Yu's heart from time to time.
Then he really would have been a good partner.
Zhao Yu was so often flustered by him that his heart raced and his face reddened. All he could do was pretend to be calm.
At least the crown prince couldn't see.
Until one day, when a difficult case went unsolved and Zhao Yu returned to the morgue alone at night.
There he saw... the crown prince focusing intently as he performed an autopsy.
Zhao Yu: Your Highness, don't you have an eye condition?
Shen Che's eyes gleamed like stars fallen into the sea. He merely smiled and said nothing.
When Zhao Yu realized that the crown prince had seen not only his face and body but even his uninhibited sleeping position,
his face turned red all the way to the roots of his neck. "...Liar!"
Shen Che replied solemnly, "I have never lied to you."
Not in this life, and not in our previous one.
Later, Zhao Yu learned the truth.
He loved him, and had never betrayed him...

※ The complete story is available in the paid section. If you've read it before, please don't subscribe again~~
※ I'm doing my best to mix sweet moments into the cases and political intrigue.
※ This is not a Sherlock-style mystery. Some cases are based on real ones, though they're probably heavily fictionalized. I'll add warnings before chapters with graphic content. (Most readers don't think it's graphic; the author is just covering their tail.)
※ Sending love.
Theme: Those with strong resolve will attain wisdom.
Want to know why Sanliang suddenly doesn't like Xiao Shen? Could it be that Mr. Zhao was heard umming and ahhing at night and thought that Xiao Shen was bullying his master? (Funny)
Actually, I'm not that smart, but I can follow this article slowly. I don't really like to read court cases, because some court cases give me a sense of irritation without a sense of participation, but this one is different. I think the author is very good at throwing ideas around. It really makes people think, and doesn't give people the feeling that only the protagonist is happy. And then there's the other thing, my God, the author is so good at describing characters, especially Xiao Zhao's early psychological writing is so good! The emotional lines are really nice. There are no emotions that are too intense or abrupt. They are warm and comfortable. I also think the handling of the past life is very appropriate, just like the past being buried in a dream, which happens to be just a dream. It touches the heartstrings but is not entangled enough. I feel like this article is really good except for some minor problems with sentence fragmentation. Also, the author has finished reading what he is currently writing, so please write it to Fujichen! Also, the author is so cute hahaha, please take care of yourself
After slowly reading each case, I felt it was time to say goodbye. The author pays great attention to details. The supporting characters and objects in the branch plot can finally be merged into the final chapter, "The Storm". I originally thought that the two of them could still maintain their identities, but then I thought about it, would their feelings be hidden deep in this case? Now walking the world together like this is indeed complete, but it is a bit regretful that we can no longer handle cases in our previous capacity. But then again, if you walk around and see, you can still take action when the road is rough. Without other constraints, it is easier. Then let's move forward like this! By the way, I wish you a happy new year!
How come Xiao Zhao and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can sleep peacefully and soundly every day!! 😭 😭
Every time I think about how many copper coins Mr. Zhao carries with him
I really like this rhythm, ah, ah, ah, I love it!!!!! Compare heart. Jpg
It's good. I just saw and heard something. I want to hear it too?˙▽˙?
Finished spreading flowers! Happy New Year to my wife!
Hahaha, the debt I owe now will have to be repaid when the injury is healed.
What??!?! Just sleep in and celebrate the new year???
