In the twelfth year of Yongchen, undercurrents swirl through Yingtian Prefecture.
Birds drop dead at a wealthy merchant's birthday banquet, a Buddha statue at the Da Bao'en Temple weeps blood, an eerie nursery rhyme drifts from an abandoned mortuary, and a human-skin kite carries a corpse on the wind...
Jiang Buxi, head of the Yingtian Prefecture's Strange Cases Office, is a dissolute young marquis exiled to the secondary capital.
Cui Fuxue, the most beautiful restaurant owner in Jinling, is a shrewd merchant's daughter left orphaned.
Together, they form the Great Zhou's finest crime-solving team, specializing in all kinds of supposedly supernatural mysteries.
Ghost cases and bizarre cases are all the work of human hands.
No invincible martial arts, no supernatural visions or prophetic dreams. They solve cases through autopsies and investigation, and their romance is all sweetness. It's all hard facts and solid skills.
Unreliable young lord x beautiful merchant's daughter
P.S. 1. The author isn't a science student. The technical details serve the cases and aren't guaranteed to be scientifically sound, so please don't nitpick.
2. The setting is a fictional dynasty modeled on the Ming Dynasty, but the institutions aren't historically rigorous and shouldn't be scrutinized too closely.
3. Both leads are virgins, one-on-one romance, happy ending.
4. More may be added if anything comes to mind.
Coming next: After Our Divorce, My Ex and I Team Up to Solve Cases
Ji Yun is a renowned, stern-faced doctor in the capital. Her silver needles can save lives, or make her ex-husband Huo Wenxu jump in pain.
Huo Wenxu is a former assistant minister at the Court of Judicial Review. His sharp tongue can infuriate anyone, but when it comes to solving cases, he's remarkably clever.
Three years ago, a divorce agreement sent them their separate ways.
Three years later, a bizarre case forces them back together.
The former spouses become the capital's most incompatible crime-solving partners.
A corpse in a pleasure boat haunted by lantern-lit shadows, a "zombie" wandering the ghost market, "ghost soldiers" appearing on a stormy night...
Behind every case lies a carefully designed conspiracy.
He excels at piecing together clues, while she is an expert in poisons and medicine.
He has a sharp tongue; she has a heavy hand.
He's laid-back; she's meticulous.
They can't stand each other, yet work together with terrifying ease.
"Doctor Ji, don't roll your eyes during the autopsy."
"Lord Huo, please be quiet while we're investigating."
"Huo Wenxu, if you rummage through my medicine cabinet again, I'll make you try my newly developed 'silence pills.'"
"Ji Yun, if you threaten me with needles again, I'll tell everyone in Bianjing that your favorite snack was the candied fruit I bought you."
The capital is full of strange cases, but the most troublesome one is always how to get an ex-wife or ex-husband to shut up.
Solving cases is fine, but getting back together? Not a chance!
...Just kidding.
Theme: Expose every ghost story and uphold materialism
It feels delicious! Like 🍉
"Wei Quan has followed Jiang Buxi since he was a child,..." This is a big bug for the author~ Although he
"The dealer is doing business, he stomps his feet excitedly..." This is a big bug for the author~ pile
The cases are too dense, and I feel very tired after reading them. After a case, I can intersperse some daily life.
"She had just finished painting when she heard a "clang", and the porcelain spoon in Sisian's hand fell to the ground and broke into two halves." Catch a big bug for the author~
"Before the King, it was like an enlightenment" gave the author a big bug ~

Pre-collection (begins in the next chapter): "After the divorce, my ex-husband and I teamed up to solve the case" Ji Yun, a well-known cold-faced female doctor in Beijing, can save people with her silver needles, and can also make her ex-husband Huo Wenxu jump in the foot. Huo Wenxu, a former young minister of Dali Temple, had a poisonous tongue that could make people angry, but he had a good brain when solving crimes. Three years ago, we separated on paper and had nothing to do with each other. Three years later, a bizarre case forced them to get back together. The former couple became the most difficult crime-solving partners in the capital. The lantern phantom's dead body on the boat, the "zombies" walking in the ghost market, the "sinisters" who appear on thunderstorm nights... Behind every case is a carefully designed conspiracy. He is good at peeling off cocoons, and she is proficient in toxicology and medicine. His mouth is poisonous, and her hands are ruthless. He is lazy, she is rigorous. They dislike each other, but their tacit understanding is terrifying. "Doctor Ji, don't roll your eyes during the autopsy." "Master Huo, please shut up during the investigation." "Huo Wenxu, if you rummage through my medicine cabinet again, I will let you try the newly developed 'dumb medicine'." "Ji Yun, if you threaten me with a needle again, I will tell Quan Bianjing that you loved eating the candied fruits I bought back then." There are many secret cases in Beijing, but the most difficult case is always "how to shut up my ex-wife/ex-husband". Can we solve the case? Reconciliation? No need to talk! ... That's weird.
Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you for your hard work~
