Mystery at the Pavilion: The Mistress Spoils Her Sick Guest

PS: The entire novel will undergo a major revision, which will take about two months. I don't recommend starting it before August.

After her whole family is imprisoned and her close friend is ambushed upon taking office, leaving her in grave danger, Mu Nanzhi assumes her friend's identity and disguises herself as a man to serve as an official at court.

On her very first day, she runs into her fiancé, and the two get into a fierce fight. He was also the one who personally sent her father and brother to prison. If that's really the truth, she'll make him pay for their blood.

If others insult him, she'll pay them back tenfold. He's hers to deal with.

By day, she's a frail judge who provokes him with her words.

By night, she's a heroine of the martial world who beats him up whenever she sees him.

As time passes, the injustice done to her father and brother is finally cleared up. He wasn't an accomplice, but now he's promised to someone else. How could she stand for that? He's hers for life.

Scene One:

Countless times, Shi Beihuai has awoken from midnight dreams, haunted by the face of someone from his past.

At a palace banquet, a drunken judge tears off her official hat and pins him in a corner of the palace courtyard.

Under the bright moonlight, she pulls off her human-skin mask, revealing her true face.

The fine lines at the corners of her eyes do nothing to diminish her peerless beauty. She smiles calmly, and his heart falls for her all over again.
