The Female Prince Consort's Casebook

This book is also titled The Prince's Substitute Bride: A Love That Knows No Bounds

"To escape an engagement, I left my home, never expecting..."

What? My fiance has become a wanted criminal?

Yan Qingyue slapped the table. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

A masked man appeared out of nowhere. "I think it's impossible too."

"Who are you, anyway?" Yan Qingyue asked in alarm.

"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is... he's truly innocent." The masked man whispered in her ear. "Solve the case and go to the capital. You'll uncover the mystery and receive a reward."

After being made the prince consort as her "reward," Yan Qingyue held the wedding scale and stared at her "bride," her face scrunching up.

This princess... was so tall and burly, so big and beefy... she looked like a man!

Lu Xing, the back of his head aching, wore a wedding dress and was mortified beyond words.

He never said he would give himself to her as a reward!

Episodic stories

Alternate-history setting

There are also two completed historical mystery novels and a mildly suspenseful eunuch novel about Wang Zhi in my author page.

My ongoing novel is updated daily. Please bookmark The Female Coroner's Happy Rivalry (Volume One is complete).

Wen Chan was born into a humble family, but she never accepted her fate. Through her skill at examining corpses, she managed to secure a low-ranking official post for herself.

She did it for one reason only: to avenge her murdered parents!

A year after the imperial examinations, Zheng Guanlan, a son of an aristocratic family, was appointed to the Dali Temple and became her direct superior.

Well, well. Isn't this the aristocratic young master who called her "lowborn, devious, and fond of currying favor"? What a small world!

Wen Chan rubbed her hands together.

Now that he's joined the Dali Temple, she'll teach this new superior exactly what "the perils of officialdom" mean!

From the male lead's perspective:

Zheng Guanlan comes from a prestigious family and is the most outstanding young man of his generation. His future wife should be dignified, virtuous, and from a family of equal standing.

But an unexpected turn of events sent his life down a path completely different from the one he'd imagined.

His wife isn't dignified. She runs around with a forensic kit on her back, never giving a thought to her appearance. Nor is she virtuous. All she knows is examining corpses, solving cases, and getting promoted. As expected, a mismatched marriage never ends well. This woman is truly...

"My lord, madam says she's busy today and won't be coming home for dinner..."

Zheng Guanlan slapped the table.

She really doesn't know how to take care of herself!

A resilient, determined female coroner from humble origins x an arrogant aristocrat who looks down from on high

PS: One-on-one, both leads are virgins, happy ending

Bonus Scene:

On their wedding night.

Zheng Guanlan raised both hands and looked at Wen Chan.

Wen Chan blinked. "It's not that I don't want to help you change, my lord. It's just that I only know how to change a dead person's burial clothes. That would bother you, wouldn't it?"

Zheng Guanlan's face darkened.

"I. Don't. Mind."

"Then please lie down, my lord, because when I change burial clothes..."

Zheng Guanlan raised a hand.

"I'll do it myself!"
