The prosperous imperial capital, Lijingcheng, has been unsettled lately. A murder has taken place at the Moon-Grasping Restaurant in the eastern market. As luck would have it, the former Minister of the Court of Judicial Review resigned and retired to his hometown just days before the crime. Li Yuan, the deputy minister temporarily filling in for him, is now at his wits' end. He'd been dreaming of a promotion, but now he's landed a case so tricky he may not even keep his official post. He feels incredibly unlucky. The empress is notorious for her ruthlessness. If they can't solve the case... No, no, no!
Just as he is at a loss, a mysterious person arrives and claims they can help him solve the case.
Who is this person? They wear a mask that reveals only their eyes and mouth. Li Yuan can't help wondering: does His Majesty not trust him, and have they sent someone to keep an eye on him? Surely not. Then he catches sight of the jade pendant the empress wore that morning, and straightens up in shock.
"My wish is to become a coroner as skilled as my grandmother."
Wasn't he supposed to find an experienced old coroner? How did he end up bringing back a beautiful young woman whom he can barely see by lamplight at night?
"Aunt Su Mo, you've forgotten again. There are no highnesses here. Call me Feiwen."
She can't help her. Three years have passed, and she truly has no solution at all.
Couple: Princess x coroner
This is a plot-driven story, with a naturally mutual romance. I hope to gather some favorites before posting. I'll start publishing once the complete story has at least 20 chapters, hopefully by late March at the earliest.

I would like to ask which color is red? Shouldn't it be crimson? What does this color of veil mean? Why did Yu Ning react like this?

I write my first comment on a new article first, and I don't know how to "trick" everyone into taking a second look.
