[Cold, ruthless assassin x beautiful, morally ambiguous woman]
In the early years of Yuan'an under the Great Zhou, the new emperor is incompetent, and the people live in misery.
A murder takes place in Zhangping Commandery, in the southeastern part of Great Zhou. He Huansheng, the commandery governor, sends his trusted aide Yu Mengchuan to investigate.
During the investigation, Yu Mengchuan uncovers a lead in the case she has spent years pursuing. Along the way, she meets a group of companions, forms a small “investigation squad,” and sets off on a journey to solve cases.
As strange cases continue to erupt across the land, Yu Mengchuan and her companions solve them one after another, gradually uncovering the true identity of the mastermind behind them.
Just as Yu Mengchuan draws close to the truth behind her family’s downfall, she is summoned by the emperor...
An ancient-style episodic mystery, plot-focused.
The romance is a slow burn.
Two strong leads.
Happy ending.
