I Just Sell Rouge. What Do I Know About Solving Crimes?

Liu Wei read a historical male-oriented novel riddled with plot holes and spent the whole time roasting it. Then she discovered she had transmigrated into a book. The good news: the divide between men and women wasn’t so strict in this fictional dynasty, and she even had a government job. The bad news: her boss was an ambitious Second Prince, who would soon fail at a coup and take her down with him. No. She had to find a way to save herself, fast. But how could an utterly ordinary person like her save herself? She’d studied biology as an undergrad and forensic investigation in grad school. What could she even do? Perform a free autopsy when the Second Prince croaked? …Maybe she should just take the money he gave her and run. But a tree longs for peace while the wind keeps blowing. Just as she was about to flee, someone stopped her. “Someone was murdered in the city yesterday. They were holding a bottle from your shop! The scented cream inside was poisonous, so you’re a major suspect.” Liu Wei: “Just because you’re handsome doesn’t mean you can go around making things up. I’ll sue you for slander.” The wheels of fate began to turn, and Liu Wei finally embarked on a path of her own: “If no one else can solve the case, I will. If no one else can take someone down, I will. If no one else dares to go somewhere, I’ll go.” Little by little, Liu Wei’s list of achievements grew. Who would’ve thought that solving the case involving the barbarian envoy would help the seemingly hopeless Fifth Prince ascend the throne? The former Fifth Prince, now the emperor, placed his complete trust in Liu Wei. Someone grew jealous and submitted a memorial: “Your Majesty, she’s a remnant of the Second Prince’s faction.” The emperor: “Insolence! She is a meritorious official who helped me ascend the throne. Guards, drag this treacherous sycophant out and execute him.” Liu Wei: “Could you please stop relying on me to solve every case? I can solve a hundred cases, but that doesn’t mean I can solve every single one…” “This is the last time!” “This really is the last time!!” “I absolutely mean it this time!!!” You won’t even make me Minister of Justice, you stingy emperor! “What? I can become the dynasty’s first woman to be granted the title of prince? Fine, fine, I’ll take one more case!” Coming soon: Bound to a Rescue System, I Keep Snatching Up Jobs Everyone knows the protagonists of every story are children of destiny.
