The Salted-Fish Consort Is Everyone's Darling

[Next book preorder: Crime Case Simulation Records. Please add it to your reading list!]

Blurb:

Fang Ling transmigrated into a book, and she knows all the secrets of the imperial harem.

For example, Consort Xian can read minds, Consort Zhen can see subtitles above people's heads, Concubine Song can move things from a distance, and a single flute performance by Lady Su can keep people awake for three days. The Empress, meanwhile, can make people tell the truth within three steps of her.

Then she looks at herself: no golden finger, not particularly bright, and even saddled with a textbook cannon-fodder role as the Empress Dowager's niece and the Emperor's unattainable first love.

Fang Ling: Great. No wonder I died without explanation in the original. I might as well wash up and go to bed. In a harem like this, lying flat is the way to go.

But as she lies flat, she realizes that something about the harem seems to have changed...

Consort Xian: In this palace, only the Noble Consort is pure-hearted.

Consort Zhen: I must find a chance to discuss gossip with the Noble Consort in person!

Concubine Song: Elder Sister loves lychees, so I'll bring some all the way from Lingnan for you!

Lady Su: It's hard to find a kindred spirit. Noble Consort Sister, I've composed another new tune!

Fang Ling: Anyway, I've managed to keep my life. It's just that all my sisters are so enthusiastic. ^^

Also known as:

#Everyone in the Harem Has a Golden Finger Except Me#

#I Stole My Emperor Cousin's Harem, But I Didn't Mean To#

#My First Love Ran Off With My Harem, And I'm Heartbroken#

[Reader advisory]: The heroine's love interest is the Emperor, a typical ancient emperor. Though devoted, he also puts the realm first and won't do anything rash for love that could threaten the empire. Read with caution if this bothers you.

Preorder: Crime Case Simulation Records

Synopsis: Su Qing is parachuted in as a special consultant at the Longhua Police Bureau. She's only twenty. When the bureau chief introduces her to the Criminal Investigation Team, the group of grizzled men are full of doubt. Some even wonder if this delicate little flower is the chief's illegitimate daughter. How else could someone so young have made her way into their team?

Until...

The East District dismemberment case

Holding a simulated murder weapon, Su Qing draws it menacingly across their leader's face. "Your left cheek is a whole size bigger than your right, your right hand is a centimeter longer than your left, and there's a three-centimeter-long through-and-through wound on your left leg. Want me to operate on you?~"

The grizzled men: ...

Lu Jiyun, mistaken for the victim: ...

Later, the killer confesses: The asymmetrical world must be destroyed!

The Criminal Investigation Team: That's incredible...

The Nanhu falling death case

Lu Jiyun hangs one-handed from the edge of the rooftop where the victim fell. Su Qing stands in front of him, smiling as she reaches to pry his fingers loose. "Don't be naughty. We said we'd enjoy the view together, didn't we?~"

Lu Jiyun: ...

The Criminal Investigation Team, rushing to the rescue: ...

The killer: Have you ever seen the view from two hundred meters up? Hehe~

The Criminal Investigation Team: ...We're impressed!

Later, the Longhua Police Bureau's case-solving rate skyrockets, and the neighboring units are green with envy...
