Blurb:
A fallen princess bent on clearing her family's name vs. a scheming crown prince's tutor
Princess Bian Ningning of Zhining keeps a first love in her heart.
She thought she could spend her life with him, but when her prince's household was destroyed, her first love vanished without a trace.
The people of her household were exiled to Nanyue, and she was lucky enough to escape by faking her death.
Born with a supernatural gift, she can understand the unfulfilled wishes of the dead. At her father's arrangement, she studied forensic examination with an old friend of the household.
Three years later, Bian Ningning, living under an assumed name, arrived in the capital and opened a funeral shop, making a living from the dead.
Everyone sighed that such a beauty, with her slender, jade-like hands, should be holding a brush or hairpin, not a sharp blade and working with corpses.
They didn't know that she had set aside her feelings and devoted herself to planning, all to clear her household's name.
She heard that the newly appointed crown prince's tutor was a once-in-a-generation talent, who had risen from a poor scholar to the top of the court in just three years, astonishing the entire realm.
By chance, she discovered that this celebrated Tutor Shen was none other than her missing first love.
It turned out that Shen Hanshan had earned his chance to rise to the highest ranks of government by betraying her household.
He had merely put on an act, and she had been foolish enough to believe him.
The first love of her past had become her enemy in the present.
Bian Ningning assumed they would destroy each other, fighting to the bitter end.
But things took a more and more unexpected turn.
Instead of a battle to the death, he saved her just as she was about to be imprisoned.
Instead of a bitter feud, he gave her the confidence to fight without worrying about what might happen to her.
Later, Shen Hanshan even brought her the evidence that could cost him his life at any moment.
"Princess, whatever you want, I can give you."
"My person and my life are yours."

Everyone said that Shen Hanshan, crown prince's tutor, was a peerless talent, unmatched in the world.
Yet this Tutor Shen treated the affection of countless noblewomen as nothing, spending all day trailing around a lowborn funeral-shop owner.
It was as strange as seeing osmanthus bloom in March instead of September.
But only Shen Hanshan knew that Bian Ningning was a golden dream that kept him awake night after night, the one he had longed for but could never have.
My love for you will last until death.

A few notes from the author:
1. The heroine can examine corpses, but she won't spend the whole story doing autopsies and solving cases. The cases are interwoven with the main plot and closely tied to it.
2. There is a little bit of a golden finger, but it won't be too overpowered.
3. Chapter One introduces the background and sets up what follows. Chapter Two jumps ahead three years.
4. The hero did not harm the heroine's whole family. He isn't truly her enemy.
5. This is a fictional setting, very, very fictional. No need to nitpick the historical details.
I hope you enjoy reading, and feel free to leave comments and chat!
New book, "Escape the Cage":
A former princess pretending to love vs. an obsessive, devoted rebel usurper
Jiang Ling believed the greatest misfortune in the world was being destitute and trapped.
To be destitute was to have nothing; to be trapped was to have no control over one's own fate.
As the Grand Princess of Dayu, she had somehow suffered both.
For the sake of Dayu, she had spent twelve years as a hostage in the enemy state of Shangjing. Yet on the night of her wedding to Shangjing's eldest prince, Dayu launched an attack without a thought for her life.
She had planned to escape in the confusion, but by a twist of fate, Pei Lian, the General of Dianyuan whom her father had personally appointed, brought her back to Dayu.
Who would have thought that the general, who seemed so pure and noble, was a traitor?
When he charged into the imperial city on horseback with his blade in hand and hung the heads of her father and mother above the Hall of Heavenly Extremity, she knew that Dayu now belonged to Pei Lian.
She walked into Pei Lian's bedchamber with a dagger.
Pei Lian lounged on a crystal couch in an open black robe, lazily and disdainfully brushing the tip of her blade with his finger. "Want to kill me and avenge your family?"
"Avenge them?"
Jiang Ling smiled, her expression more bitter than the winter frost beneath the cold moon.
"Kill me. Please."
But Pei Lian broke her dagger and forced her to keep living in the narrow space between them.
Later, she put her feelings away and humbled herself, hoping that one day she could leave him behind, with mountains and rivers between them, never to meet again.
She never imagined that once she escaped her gilded cage, the man who had always stood above her would degrade himself and become covered in wounds just to keep her.
He knelt at her feet, drenched in blood, pleading in the most abject terms.
"Yaoyao, stay. I beg you."
Only then did she realize that love was more frightening than poverty and entrapment.
*
Pei Lian met a woman.
Everyone around him said she was the daughter of his enemy, a crooked schemer who clung to him with ulterior motives.
But how could he not know?
He simply couldn't bear to expose her, and he couldn't bear to let her go.
He could wait patiently, never wavering, for as long as it took.
Reading tips:
The heroine's full name is Jiang Ling, and Yaoyao is her childhood name.
This story is about the male lead, who says one thing and means another, pursuing her for a long time. The heroine knows what she wants and stays clear-headed and self-possessed.
Both leads are each other's first and only. One-on-one romance, with a groveling-after-the-breakup arc, focused on the relationship.
The male lead did not kill the heroine's parents. This story will absolutely, definitely, unquestionably have a happy ending!
*
Theme: Everyone is equal. Be self-reliant and strong.
It is still a chapter where the male protagonist is so angry that he explodes. He thinks he is being nice to others and does not say anything, leaving the female protagonist to soak in the bitter water. In fact, it is just that he is moved by himself. The heroine is not a soft-tempered person, so why not let her know the truth? If it weren't for the writing, I would really be furious!!!
I hate this kind of male protagonist who has no mouth. Although from the perspective of the reader, it is certain that Shen Hanshan did not betray him at the beginning, the female protagonist has been suffering from psychological torture. She suspects that Shen framed the palace because he wanted to avenge his mother. Even if the male protagonist now clearly says that he does not blame her, can the female protagonist be completely relieved? Bah!
Come on, keep it up, the writing is good, I look forward to it~^_^
The former princess who fakes love vs. The paranoid, infatuated and rebellious minister and thief In Jiang Ling's view, the most tragic thing in the world is poverty. To be poor is to be destitute, and to be trapped is to be unable to control yourself. But as Princess Yu, she actually had both. She served as a hostage in the enemy country Shangjing for twelve years for Dayu, but Dayu sent troops to Shangjing without caring about her life or death on her wedding night to the eldest prince Shangjing. She wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but by some strange combination of circumstances, she was brought back to Dayu by Pei Lian, the general of the Yuan Dynasty whom her father personally appointed. Unexpectedly, the general who looked like Yuan Qing Yuji was actually a rebellious minister. When he crossed the imperial city with a sword on his horse and hung the heads of her father, the emperor, and her queen on the Tianji Palace, she knew that Pei Lian now ruled the world under Dayu. She walked into Pei Lian's bedroom with a dagger. Pei Lian sat on the glazed couch wearing a black robe and his fingertips lazily and disdainfully brushed the tip of her knife: "You want to kill me to avenge your relatives?" "Revenge?" Jiang Ling smiled, but it was even more miserable than the cold moon and winter frost: "Kill me, please." But Pei Lian broke her knife and forced her to survive in this gap. Later, she restrained herself and kept herself low, hoping that one day the mountains would be high and the rivers would be long, and she would never see him again. Never would she have thought that after she escaped from the golden cage, the man who was so aloof in the past would fall down and be covered in scars just to keep her. He knelt at her feet covered in blood, begging for humility: "Yao Yao stay, please." She was shocked to realize that the word love was the most terrifying thing in this world than poverty. Pei Lian met a woman. People around him said that this woman was the daughter of his enemy, with evil intentions, and was obsessed with him and had some agenda. And why doesn't he know? However, he was reluctant to expose her and let her go. The iron pestle grinds the needle, and the death grinds it away. He can afford it. Tips for reading the article: The heroine's first name is Jiang Ling, and her nickname is Yaoyao. This article is mainly about the long-term pursuit of the male protagonist who is sexually explicit and sexually explicit, while the female protagonist has clear goals and is sober and self-possessed. Double c, 1v1, chasing his wife in the crematorium, the main emotional line. The male protagonist didn't kill the female protagonist's parents, this article must definitely confirm HE!
Is Bai Yueguang really a traitor? It would be too disgusting if she could still be with the person who destroyed her family. It should be written in the copy, otherwise it would be too disgusting to see her half-way with her enemy.
