[Please add my new novel next door, After I Picked Up a Fallen Powerful Minister, to your library!]
The Zhongting Bureau was founded by Emperor Taizu of the Great Xuan to investigate murder cases.
"Zhong" means upright, and the upright are just. Only with impartial hearts and fair law enforcement can there be no unjust verdicts.
"Ting" means midday, when the sun shines brightly and darkness has nowhere to hide, laying the truth bare in the light of day.
The Zhongting Bureau is where the Great Xuan protects its people, punishes evil, and upholds good.

Shen Qingdai, the young mistress of Guiyuan Manor, whose wealth could rival a nation, came to the capital to recuperate, supposedly because of her "frail health."
With her silver tongue, Shen Qingdai disguised herself as a man and talked her way into the Zhongting Bureau.
On her first day on the job, brimming with enthusiasm, she took over a case that had just been dumped on the Shuntian Prefecture...
On the first day of the investigation, she was beset by problems at every turn. Staring at the meager clues, Shen Qingdai declared, "I've got money. This is no problem."
With silver in hand, the clues were hers, and the investigation was a breeze...

Zhao Lingxun, heir to Prince Su, was peerlessly handsome, cold, and ruthless. He hated being close to anyone.
Little did anyone know that he had once been a passionate and sincere young man, riding out in fine clothes and on a spirited horse.
After his first love died, he had already given up on love. Then he met her...
As it happened, Shen Qingdai was Zhao Lingxun's dead first love.
[Reader's Guide]
1. A mystery-solving novel with a plot-focused story and an emphasis on deduction.
2. Romance is secondary, a sweet reunion after a long separation, with a happy ending. (The romance is limited, so please keep that in mind.)
3. Set in a fictional world with many original details. Please don't overanalyze the historical accuracy.
4. This is a mystery novel with clues and foreshadowing, so skipping chapters means missing many details.
5. The female lead's identity is a mystery. The male lead knows who she is from the start, but doesn't know her background.
Theme: Let the truth be laid bare in the light of day.
Zhou Fangzhan is a bit miserable
It turns out that Zhou Fangzhan is the heroine's biological brother.
!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ
This mother... Has maternal love, but not much
Is the person behind the scenes Zhou Fangzhan? Omg
Xuanxuan's mother is Fang Yaohui, isn't she Yuanfang? Could it be that she killed her because she couldn't let the emperor know about it?
So the heroine's biological mother should be the concubine of the Fang family who entered the palace. I guess she was the concubine that the heroine met when she fell into the water in the palace.
Scumbag! But does it feel like the hostess is also taking advantage of the scumbag?
The cases in the middle four units are really good to watch. Sister Nanyue and Xiao Xie are the most touching ones. They are so sad. When will I be able to write about solved cases again!
Fortunately, Xiao Zhou is good and Miss Zhong did not misjudge him.
