Everyone says that Shi Wuxie, Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, is a lunatic.
He is researching how to bring the dead back to life, filling the yamen with bones, and restless ghosts come to demand justice every night.
But an imperial edict arranging his marriage makes him the sacrificial groom of the Marquis of Anping's household.
Shi Wuxie: ...A sacrificial marriage? Me?
On their wedding night, his betrothed dies in their bridal chamber. He immediately becomes the prime suspect in a murder case.
Shi Wuxie: ? I think someone's setting me up.
To prove his innocence, he decides to examine the body himself.
But just as the tip of his scalpel touches the crown of the young master of the Chu family, the dead man suddenly opens his eyes.
Shi Wuxie: A corpse coming back to life? I'm used to it.
He says without expression, "Lie still. I'll clear your name once I'm done examining you."
Chu Yunxi, who has just transmigrated: "...I don't think I'm dead yet. Could you try resuscitating me first?"
Witnessing someone come back to life for the first time, Shi Wuxie's eyes light up. "How fascinating."
"Let me dissect you and have a look!"
That night, the runners of the Court of Judicial Review see their master chasing a "reanimated corpse" around the courtyard with a knife.
As expected of the Living King of Hell!
Every day afterward, Shi Wuxie waits by the bed with a scalpel, practically bouncing with anticipation. "Why can you come back to life? Can I take a look at your brain?"
Chu Yunxi gets up calmly and calmly pushes the knife away. "Not today, dear. Your husband is still alive."
Until one day, Chu Yunxi really is close to death.
"Baby, your husband is dying. You can cut open his brain now."
He collapses, then lifts his head a moment later. "Wait until your husband is completely dead before you cut."
He collapses again, only to raise his head moments later, still worried. "Make absolutely sure your husband is completely dead before you cut."
Chu Yunxi never opens his eyes again.
But Shi Wuxie no longer wants to cut him open.
The neighbors say that the Assistant Minister has gone even crazier than before. Every day, he falls asleep holding Fu Ren's bones, and sleeps like that for three whole years.
A veritable King of Hell!
Three years later.
They say the emperor who drove Shi Wuxie's wife to his death has passed away.
The new emperor ascends the throne, but his first destination is the Court of Judicial Review.
The imposing emperor steps down from his carriage, dressed in a black dragon robe.
He suddenly lets go of his murderous air and breaks into a warm smile. Looking at the stunned Shi Wuxie, he says, "Baby, did you miss your husband?"

[Bonus Scene]
At last, the neighbors around the Court of Judicial Review realize that the one who caused a commotion at the yamen that night wasn't a "reanimated corpse," but another lunatic
Shi Wuxie solves a case and digs up a heap of rotting flesh.
Chu Yunxi: So cool. I want to bang him.
Shi Wuxie holds his face beside a corpse while eating.
Chu Yunxi: So cute. I want to bang him.
Shi Wuxie puts a human skeleton on the bed to study it.
Chu Yunxi: Amazing. I want to...
"Baby, you already have a husband. You can't put someone else in our bed."
[Important]
1. Neither lead is perfect. Please don't read if you're very particular about your favorite character.
2. The romance is interwoven with court politics. This isn't a mystery-solving novel.
3. The top is a scheming, attention-seeking green tea who deliberately acts weak to get his wife's attention.
[Next Book] Stop Living! This Emperor Is Going to Wipe Everyone Out
*Unhinged, spoiled bottom X cold-faced, fatherly top* A novel about going off the rails
Blurb:
After five years of building a business, Shen Tingyun finally takes his company public on the Nasdaq. But just as the exchange rings the opening bell, he transmigrates into the body of a puppet emperor in the Great Sheng Dynasty.
Shen Tingyun is baffled. Where the hell am I?
I have a bell to ring!!!
After learning that he can return to the modern world as long as he dies by anything other than suicide, Shen Tingyun begins performing all kinds of death-defying stunts.
In the Empress Dowager's bedchamber, he points at the only eunuch loyal to him. "I'll make you Chief Princess right now. Slap her for me!"
The eunuch slaps the Empress Dowager twice, leaving red marks on her face.
The Empress Dowager covers her burning cheeks, glaring furiously. "Shen Tingyun! You're insane! I'll depose you!"
Shen Tingyun: Just what I'm hoping for.
In court, Shen Tingyun looks at the general who commands a mighty army, the grand secretary who controls the court, and Prince Chen, who has his eyes on the throne.
He smiles wickedly. "Shut the doors. Send in the Chief Princess."
Slaps and curses ring through the great hall. "Tyrant! I will obey the late emperor's decree and depose you!"
Shen Tingyun: Hurry up, then.
Shen Tingyun does everything he can to anger the entire court and wipe everyone out, but his opponents' repeated assassination attempts all fail.
He fumes at their incompetence. "Useless! Is there no one who can kill me?"
At last, he pins his hopes on Qi Wujiu, the Prince of Zhenbei.
Shen Tingyun: "Chief Princess, get him!"
The eunuchs are scared out of their wits. "This servant wouldn't dare."
Shen Tingyun: He's that fearsome? There might be hope.
He makes a grand spectacle of summoning Qi Wujiu to the palace to spend the night, then gives him the lowest consort rank.
Shen Tingyun: After humiliating you this much, surely you'll want to kill me.
But Qi Wujiu not only spares his life, he rises through the ranks, going all the way from the lowest consort rank to Imperial Consort.
Shen Tingyun: What am I missing here?
He can't take it anymore. "Qi Wujiu, are you even a man? If you've got the guts, kill me!"
Qi Wujiu loosens his belt, his expression unchanged. "As you wish."
A hand reaches out from behind the curtains, making Shen Tingyun's best Er Kang pose. "That's not what I meant by 'kill me'!"
Just let me go back and ring that bell! QAQ~
