Ruan Qingshi was an excellent criminal investigator who died in the line of duty during a squad operation to close in on a criminal network.
When she opened her eyes again, someone who should have been dead had become a noble young lady from an illustrious family in ancient times.
Before she had even grown up, she discovered her father, a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Justice, had a rather "unique" talent for solving cases.
With her life hanging by a thread, Ruan Qingshi had no choice but to return to her old profession and was forced to begin a career in criminal investigation in ancient times.
It seemed she also had an extraordinary golden finger.
The day before, she dreamed someone had fallen into the water. The next day, she really did rescue two young gentlemen who had fallen in.
She dreamed her father was angry. The next evening, her father came home in a fury after being harshly scolded by his young superior for failing to solve a case. He was indeed angry.
Ruan Qingshi's mouth twitched. She accepted her golden finger without changing expression.
Until one day, she dreamed that her cold and emotionless superior, Prince Yong'an, met a female doctor, grew close to her, fell in love, and married her... Wait, married her???
The next morning, she told herself it was all just a dream.
"Yu Mian. The Yu Mian from 'listening to the rain while sleeping on a painted boat.'"
It was the same opening line as in her dream. Ruan Qingshi cautiously looked at her superior, trying to find anything unusual in his eyes, but all she saw was admiration.
Ruan Qingshi was devastated. For the first time in either life, she'd fallen for someone, and the little seed of love had been snuffed out in its cradle just like that?!
Prince Yong'an Shen Huaixu oversees the empire's judicial affairs and solves all manner of strange and cold cases. It could be said that nothing in the world could stump him.
But then a difficult problem finally came along.
The dignified prince hesitated outside the Court of Judicial Review. His friend Ye Qingyun came running over, acting like a hooligan, purely to... watch the show.
"Tell me, Your Highness, what have you done to upset Qingshi this time?"
The prince said nothing, but shot his friend a glare.
His friend had a death wish. "Come on, tell me! I'll think of a solution. With Qingshi's temperament, she really might ignore you for months."
Shen Huaixu hesitated. In truth, he had no idea why Ruan Qingshi had suddenly stopped speaking to him.
Meanwhile, Ruan Qingshi herself stood not far away, glaring at her slacking friend as he spread gossip in front of her superior. She cleared her throat and walked over. "I haven't done that! I can tell the difference between work and personal matters..." She fell silent for a moment, then spoke again in a strictly businesslike tone. "Your Highness, about this case..."
Her friend was at a loss for words. He looked at the two wooden-headed idiots, who really had started discussing work, and rolled his eyes in exasperation. "I'm such a fool for getting involved with you two!"
