The only daughter of Ningzhou's richest family, Ruan Qihua had been a pampered flower of wealth since childhood, raised amid piles of gold and jade. On the day her family packed her off to the capital, her elders drilled one thing into her: "The capital is full of important people. You must keep a low profile!"

Ruan Qihua readily agreed, only to be stunned by the capital's rules: she wasn't allowed to wear dresses embroidered with gold thread, couldn't wear a peacock-feather hairpin, and couldn't even live in a three-courtyard residence.

Clutching her jade abacus, she gritted her teeth in fury. "How am I supposed to live like this!"

Luckily, the gentle and refined Lord Lu next door often brought her pastries to cheer her up. That was the only thing that gave her something to look forward to each day...

Until someone tried to bully her. At last, Ningzhou's little tyrant flew into a rage.

"My money is mine, and my good name is mine too." She planted one foot on the grand tutor's chair and sneered.

Of course, the Dali Temple Minister who knew how to make pastries was hers too.

The whole capital praised Lu Linyuan as a noble gentleman, pure and free of worldly desires. He had once served as regent to steady the realm, then retired after accomplishing his mission to become the Dali Temple Minister.

But no one knew that all his countless desires were devoted to one person far away in Jiangnan.

That year, a flood nearly killed him in a river channel amid a torrential downpour.

With his life hanging by a thread, a slender hand reached out. He looked up and saw a young woman gritting her teeth as she strained to pull him out. The rain had tossed her hairpins into disarray, and half her body was submerged in the water.

"Get up here, quickly! Don't expect this young lady to freeze alongside you!"

Later, looking at that radiant, beautiful young woman, Lu Linyuan thought that a girl raised amid such splendor and wealth deserved to be wooed with gold and jade, courted with tenderness, and pampered in the palm of his hand for the rest of her life.

Osmanthus spirit forensic pathologist x straight-laced male detective

[System Warning: Body temperature 36°C -> 87% chance of blooming]

Nan Qiao transmigrated into a book, becoming an early-death supporting female character in a crime investigation novel: an osmanthus spirit who was sent to prison by the male lead himself.

Good news: After being born into this world twenty years ago, she had finally managed to become a forensic pathologist.

Bad news: Her new partner, Qin Huai'an, is the original male lead, a walking bloom trigger with a body temperature of 38°C.

Nan Qiao gritted her teeth. If she couldn't afford to provoke him, couldn't she at least avoid him? She would file a request to change positions right away.

Medical app: [Beep beep beep! Key character detected. Host, complete this mission: Partner with Qin Huai'an to investigate the sudden death of an online influencer.]

[Mission reward: Temperature tolerance +5°C.]

Nan Qiao: ...

Qin Huai'an, the famous playboy of the Linhai City Public Security Bureau, is a top detective with the highest case clearance rate.

His motto: "Believe in science. Reject superstition."

--- First crime scene

He leaned against the doorframe, rolling a lighter between his fingers. "Forensic Pathologist Nan, why are you shaking?"

She pressed down hard on the flower stem poking out of her fingertip. "...Hypothermia."

--- First time alone together

He casually turned up the heat. "If you're cold, just say so."

The medical app blared alarms: [Warning! Body temperature 37°C -> imminent social death!]

--- The secret is exposed

At the scene of an explosion, golden petals burst into bloom above her head.

He froze, then suddenly pulled out his phone. "Wait, let me Google 'why do people bloom' first."

Later, Qin Huai'an's search history:

Later still, he scrawled a note across the case report:

"Suspect cleared. Identified as: my personal plant."

Content warnings:

1. The male lead is a committed materialist at first, an extreme beauty lover, and a total straight guy. Later, he's all, "What's wrong with my wife being a potted plant?"

2. The female lead's blooming ability has a scientific (fake) explanation.

3. Episodic investigations, the protagonists have unlimited golden fingers, and everything is in service of the fun.
