After reaching adulthood, Cui Zilu differentiated into a Kunze.
The former young general was kicked out of the barracks by his own father, who told him to go home that very night and get started on embroidering his dowry.
But Cui Zilu, the mighty God of War known as the Red Eagle of the desert wastelands, never expected that upon arriving in the capital, he would be falsely accused of being a notorious serial killer who preyed on women.
Cui Zilu: I'm an O. Who could I possibly prey on?
Zhou Huan, Deputy Director of the Crime Investigation Bureau: You look pretty much like an A pretending to be an O to me.
So Cui Zilu never got around to embroidering his dowry. Instead, he spent three days touring the Crime Investigation Bureau.
After he was released, a palace eunuch announced in a shrill voice that Cui Zilu had been appointed Deputy Director of the Bureau.
Kneeling to receive the decree, Cui Zilu saw Zhou Huan beside him looking angrier than ever, and could barely hold back his laughter.
Cui Zilu: Well, looks like we're colleagues now. Give me a smile.
Zhou Huan: Get lost!
