Original title: I Have a Little Underling
*Before the female and male leads get together, the female lead will like other people and date them.
"I hear Lord Mu offended the empress's younger brother and was dismissed by His Majesty!"
"Lord Mu was a gifted young man. Now that he's lost his position, if he wants to return to government service, he'll have to start by becoming someone's underling like the rest of us."
"Everyone, which Lord Mu are you talking about?"
"Of course, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Mu Cang, courtesy name Qingyu, known as the Jade-Faced Asura!"
While showing the new underling she'd just taken on around the government office, Bai Fuyu happened to overhear the clerks on duty talking.
She turned to her underling and said, "The Jade-Faced Asura, hahahaha! What a silly name. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."
The underling said, "Mu Cang, courtesy name Qingyu."
Bai Fuyu's smile froze. Then he added, "Just joking. I hope you won't hold it against me, my lord."
Bai Fuyu thought, You're quite the comedian, aren't you?
Then again, this underling was so timid, mild-mannered, and obedient. He was nothing like that lunatic Mu Qingyu.
Later, after solving a major case, she went to the palace to receive her reward. The emperor warmly introduced her to her future colleague, Lord Mu, whose dismissal had already been made public. He emerged from behind a screen in a scarlet flying-fish robe, its intricate golden embroidery so dazzling it nearly blinded Bai Fuyu.
Bai Fuyu's first thought: This Jade-Faced Asura is really good-looking.
Her second thought: He's almost as good-looking as my underling.
Her third thought: Oh no.
