Drafts, Volume 3

[The story of a clever, perceptive female judicial officer and a cold-faced, cunning prince]

Literary-style blurb:

As someone who has transmigrated, Xu Xinyi believes that even when your feet are mired in mud, you should still look up at the stars.

Before she transmigrated, she was a prosecutor. Afterward, she hopes to return to her old profession. Through a twist of fate, she becomes a subordinate of the Ninth Prince, who oversees the Three Judicial Offices.

Her ultimate goal is to fulfill her godmother's dying wish and correct a wrongful conviction from years ago in the State of Qi.

Even if those who risk everything for others have frozen to death in a snowstorm, leaving no bones behind; even if justice delayed is not justice, she will set things right. She will hold fast to her conscience and to the belief that fairness lives in people's hearts, and that righteousness will endure between heaven and earth.

The male lead's emotional journey:

When they first met, the Ninth Prince told her, "If you want to serve under me, there are three rules: don't overstep, don't talk too much, and don't entertain wild fantasies."

Xu Xinyi took his words to heart and followed them to the letter.

Later, the Ninth Prince bitterly regretted it. He wished this subordinate, whom the rumors claimed shared his bed, would have improper thoughts about him and say a few more words to him. He wouldn't even mind if she overstepped.

Onlookers, enjoying the gossip: So the prince really is one of those people who can't resist after all.

The female lead's emotional journey:

Xu Xinyi feels like there's a pit waiting for her somewhere up ahead.

Maybe it's her taciturn, secretly passionate fiancé, whose engagement hasn't been called off yet.

Maybe it's the Ninth Prince, who has no interest in women, a sharp tongue, a ruthless hand, and a dark heart.

Maybe it's the noblewomen of the capital, who all want to become princess consorts and see her as a rival.

Maybe it's the inscrutable, unpredictable emperor, who seems to have some connection to her godmother.

Even if life means risking her neck every day, so be it. She'll be a light that shines on herself and others.
