The Magistrate of Qingzhou

My new book, The Jade Rope Slips West, is in progress. Come take a look~

Xue Zhi was a noblewoman of the capital, bold and spoiled. Driven by curiosity about the Dali Temple's investigations, she impulsively joined a case involving an unidentified female corpse. This brought down a deadly disaster on her, and she died young, her soul sent west.

Three years later, Xue Zhi opened her eyes and found herself reborn as the person she hated most:

Kang Min, the Commandery Princess Duanning.

What do you do when you're reborn as your archenemy? Xue Zhi could only think that Heaven had gone blind.

But since she was already here, she decided to make the best of it. From that day on, she was both Xue Zhi and Kang Min.

Ghostly apparitions swirled outside her window, and she realized she had gained yin-yang eyes.

Later, a wronged female ghost came to her, recounting her injustice in a mournful voice, blood tears soaking her clothes.

Without hesitation, Xue Zhi plunged headfirst into that chaotic world, determined to clear women's names.

Only after becoming her archenemy Kang Min did Xue Zhi discover that her life was not as glamorous as it seemed.

A vicious old woman, a stepmother sweet to the face but cruel at heart, and a cousin with a corrupt mind all taught Xue Zhi just how hard it was to survive.

She gradually began to feel sorry for her late archenemy.

Later, she dug a letter out from under a tree. The handwriting belonged to the archenemy who had once been at odds with her in every way:

Lady Xue, may these words find you well. May your face brighten as you read this letter. The moon has fallen, the flowers have withered, and time has passed. The capital has undergone great changes, and dark clouds obscure the sun. Min is foolish and has repeatedly put herself in danger, yet all her efforts have been in vain. I have heard that you, on the other hand, are clever beyond compare. Today, I make a pact with the blood of Kang Min, use my soul as a bridge and my body as a vessel, and welcome Lady Xue Zhi of the Xue family back into the mortal world. I hope you will uncover the truth and bring clarity to the capital, free of corruption.

Kang Min's final letter

-

After being reborn as Kang Min, Xue Zhi gritted her teeth and began spending time with her fiance, the Assistant Grand Secretary.

Luo Dingchun, the Assistant Grand Secretary, was gentle and humble. Xue Zhi thought she wouldn't mind spending her life with him.

After they married, they treated each other with respect and affection, like a loving couple.

Until, in a moment of passion, she lost herself in ecstasy. He held her tightly, his face buried against her shoulder, his voice feverish with ardent love: "Zhi Zhi..."

Xue Zhi, now Kang Min: !
