[Bonus chapters will be updated after the novel is marked complete.]
Feng Tan disguised herself as a man to serve as an official, risking everything to reopen an old case and save someone dear to her. But all her efforts were undone by one man: Xiao Yinshi, a powerful court minister.
Everyone at court knew Xiao Yinshi was no good. He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, acting with obsessive cruelty. He had no regard for love or affection, to a horrifying degree: a born villain through and through.
The day the case was dismissed, Feng Tan was imprisoned.
A whip came down hard, tearing her prison clothes to shreds and exposing her female body before Xiao Yinshi's eyes.
The man's pupils contracted. His long, sharply defined fingers wound around her chest binding as he gripped her by the neck and pinned her to the torture rack. "You fooled me?"
She had truly deceived everyone along the way.
"Give yourself to me," Xiao Yinshi said, the corners of his eyes turning an unnatural red, his villainous nature plain for all to see. "Then I'll get you out."
Feng Tan curled her lips in scorn. "Keep dreaming."
But she had never imagined anyone could be so mad as to break prisoners out, betray his country, slaughter an entire city in retaliation, and commit every outrageous crime under the sun.
At the end of the smoke and fire lay mountains of corpses and seas of blood. On the day Xiao Yinshi ascended the throne, a palace servant hurried in with news: the young woman imprisoned in the palace had run up to the city wall.
Xiao Yinshi threw down his imperial crown and stood before Feng Tan, his voice low and heavy as he threatened her slowly. "Feng Tan, if you take one more step forward, everyone will be buried with you."
Standing on the city wall, Feng Tan knew perfectly well that Xiao Yinshi would do exactly as he said.
Feng Tan was skilled at taming beasts.
She never expected that the fiercest, most maddened beast she would encounter in her life would initially wear a human face.
A short scene:
Feng Tan tried to kill Xiao Yinshi three times.
The first attempt failed, and Xiao Yinshi nearly crushed her fake Adam's apple.
The second attempt failed, and Xiao Yinshi nearly ripped off her secret identity.
The third attempt failed, and Xiao Yinshi asked in a dark voice, "Are you going to kill me again?"
Feng Tan immediately decided that discretion was the better part of valor. "I wouldn't dare."
Desire surfaced in the man's eyes. "But right now, I want your life."
A resilient, never-say-die orphan girl versus a ruthless, dark court minister
From bitter enemies to the one who bows and submits.
The heroine is the coolest person in the court!
[Reading guide]
1. The hero is driven by desire in the early chapters. He only falls in love later.
2. The official system is modeled on the Ming Dynasty, with some original additions and changes. Please don't read too deeply into it.
3. Includes mystery and crime-solving elements, and follows the heroine's rise through the ranks. It's a satisfying, empowering story, so don't skip the career storyline.
4. The male supporting characters go from looking down on the heroine to falling for her. She tames them without even trying, but her real battleground is her career.
5. A supporting character transmigrates, so this is categorized as a transmigration story.
6. There is a System. I don't have many taboos when writing, so if you have any as a reader, proceed with caution.
7. No need to tell me if you drop the novel. Let's each go our own way.

Fortunately, it was saved quickly. Duan Ping is waiting for me [Fanfan]
I am so lucky to have come across this novel, and this is my first time reviewing it. The heroine's personality is so attractive, she is decisive and wise, and her battle of wits and courage with the male protagonist is so endearing. The crazy reviews of the male protagonist and the two female supporting characters were also particularly satisfying to me. The group portraits displayed by each supporting character were particularly warm and plump. It was very satisfying to watch it until the end of the day. It's just that the review is too much! ! Not even the broth!
