Trainee forensic examiner Zhao Wangshu transmigrates into the final volume of the mystery-romance series "Cases of Love," becoming the wicked female supporting character who causes trouble everywhere.
The original Zhao Wangshu schemes to win the emperor protagonist's favor and claim the throne of empress, viciously smearing the female lead and her family. Little does she know that she has long been a pawn in the hands of the villain Feng Xuanhui. After he uses her and she nearly gets the male and female leads killed, she ends up with her family destroyed and her body never found.
The good news: Zhao Wangshu transmigrated into the book as a fetus, so she doesn't have to face the original story's desperate situation. The bad news: when she turns eighteen, the plot still unfolds right on schedule.
At a banquet ostensibly held to admire lanterns but actually meant to select an imperial consort, the emperor's aunt is murdered. All the clues left at the scene point to the original female lead. Zhao Wangshu should use this to attack the female lead and her family, indirectly helping Feng Xuanhui eliminate his rivals. Instead, she gathers evidence, reconstructs the truth, and takes it upon herself to solve the murder.
Faced with the choice between ruining everyone's lives and offending Feng Xuanhui, she decisively chooses the latter.
The two become sworn enemies. In the cases that follow, whenever Feng Xuanhui plots a scheme, Zhao Wangshu is sure to foil it and ruin his plans. He drags her into trouble, and she stabs him.
She thinks she and Feng Xuanhui have become enemies locked in mortal combat.
Zhao Wangshu: We are sworn enemies.
Feng Xuanhui: I can see us making our marriage vows.
Zhao Wangshu: ???

Feng Xuanhui is the regent empress dowager's nephew, and the first person ever to be made a prince on the strength of his status as an imperial relative by marriage.
He has slaughtered countless enemies on the battlefield and eliminated countless rivals at court. Compared with his noble and honorable imperial cousin, the emperor, Feng Xuanhui is the treacherous villain whom officials and commoners curse behind his back.
Some loathe him and secretly conspire against him. Others fear him, lowering themselves to flatter and fawn on him.
Zhao Wangshu is an exception. She fears him, yet stands up to him under pressure and refuses to submit.
He lays plans around murder cases, and Zhao Wangshu overturns them completely. He uses underhanded means to hurt her, and she stabs him outright.
Feng Xuanhui ought to take revenge on Zhao Wangshu, but he really is as crazy as she says. What he wants even more is to have her and make her his.
Zhao Wangshu slaps him, and he takes the opportunity to kiss her palm. Zhao Wangshu deceives him with an act, and he knows perfectly well but willingly plays along. Zhao Wangshu wants a promotion and wealth, so he would rather give up his own obsession than not accompany her all the way to the top.
Feng Xuanhui: A forcibly picked melon is very sweet.
Zhao Wangshu: ???

Brother Xiao Cai and Sister Xiao Cai are both very good people.
????? Isn't it so easy to pull out a world? Didn't I say earlier that his relatives in Urumqi were spread throughout the court? That means that children should get married very frequently, or that most ministers' families have marriage relationships with relatives they ignore. Now that you are involved in the murder of the princess, all these officials will have to be found. Really, if all the wizards are liquidated, it is estimated that the entire court will die, at least 1/2 of the people.
