[Heroine's Story]
Modern police detective Shen Wan transmigrated one day and became Shen Wan, an orphan who had grown up in a funeral home. The townspeople called her an “ill-omened person,” and everyone avoided her like the plague.
Soon after arriving, Shen Wan was caught up in a family massacre. Because of her “ill-omened” status, she was about to be framed as the culprit and made the scapegoat.
Shen Wan: My professional instincts are itching to kick in.
If she wanted to live, she had to save herself.
After Shen Wan used her outstanding deductive skills to clear her name and catch the real culprit, she learned that the orphan girl's background hid a secret: she was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Marquis of Linyang's household in the capital.
For more than a decade, her younger half-sister had taken her place, becoming the marquis's eldest daughter. Now she even wanted to take the marriage match that had been arranged for Shen Wan when she was a child.
Shen Wan: Domestic scheming gives me a headache. I just want to solve cases.
[Hero's Story]
Pei Ding'an could mount a horse and steady the realm, or pick up a brush and bring peace to the land. Though he was the dream lover of the noblewomen of the capital, he remained unmarried at twenty-one, all because his parents had once arranged a childhood betrothal for him.
He had assumed the girl he was engaged to had died young, far away. Who would have thought that, while on a routine inspection, he would run into her in Wuan City?
Pei Ding'an had always scorned the engagement.
But later, he watched her unravel cases thread by thread and discern the truth with a keen eye...
Pei Ding'an: So good. So, so good!
