Fragile yet brilliant noblewoman x loyal, cunning prince who plays the fool to catch his enemies off guard
A headless corpse, fashioned into a floral bonsai, appeared in the chambers of the General's legitimate daughter. The whole city was thrown into an uproar, and the emperor flew into a rage.
Psychology professor Gu Qing transmigrated, only to open her eyes and find herself cast as a deranged murderer, with her grisly masterpiece right beside her. Before she could say a word, she was beaten within an inch of her life.
Just when she thought she was about to die, her notorious fiance, the Fifth Prince Qin Ze, known for being a wastrel, came to her rescue.
That very night, the General's daughter died suddenly in prison.
Before long, a mysterious and highly skilled investigator appeared in the capital.
“Everyone thought the Fifth Prince was useless, a complete idiot. Who would have guessed the Crown Prince's title would end up going to him?”
“You don't understand. It's the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.”
Theme: Wisdom and courage are sharp blades that cut through the darkness.
