The Nation's Female Constable

[The handsome, roguish female constable x the scheming, beautiful Ninth Prince]

Core theme: Stand up for the living, speak for the dead, and devote your life to the causes and work you believe in.

Someone has been murdered in a county town known for its simple, honest people, and the cause of death is suspicious. By the time the county constable Li Fuyao gets to the bottom of the case, she has crossed paths with the Ninth Prince, Rong Qi.

As the murder case is solved, the truth behind the massacre of the Li family, whose patriarch was the Minister of Justice thirteen years ago, gradually comes to light.

Just then, barbarian invaders attack the border. Countless townspeople are slaughtered, and Li Fuyao resolutely turns back, takes up her sword, and organizes the people to fight back.

When investigating cases, Li Fuyao is both bold and meticulous.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to commit the perfect crime."

The criminal trembles in fear as Constable Li Fuyao points out each detail at the crime scene. "First, I'd put the overturned screen back in place and take away the broken bowl."

"Next, I'd hang the already-dead victim from the rafters with a rope and put a stool of just the right height beneath his feet, making it look as though he'd hanged himself."

"Finally, I'd put something flammable beneath the victim's feet and throw a candlestick onto it, creating a flawless scene of self-immolation."

The criminal trembles in fear.

When dealing with Rong Qi, Li Fuyao never backs down.

Their first clash:

Li Fuyao points her crossbow straight at the royal noble. "Keep your people in line, or I, Li, can't promise you won't get hurt!"

Rong Qi gives a low laugh and yields. "It seems I underestimated Constable Li. Tell me, what do you want?"

Their next clash:

Li Fuyao: "Here, help me put this medicine in the Ninth Prince's food. It'll keep him in bed for a few days."

Rong Qi lies in bed, his face as white as paper and his breath faint. "Once I catch you, I'll feed you to the dogs."

When at last they can speak calmly to each other...

Li Fuyao asks, "Your Highness, if every woman in Great Qian could live freely and boldly, wouldn't that make for a better world?"

Rong Qi pauses. "It would."

Rong Qi has never met a woman like her, clever, bold, and entirely unpretentious.

He has seen how meticulous she is when investigating a case, and how cunning she can be when teasing people.

Rong Qi thinks that once the truth behind the Li family's case comes to light, he will tell Li Fuyao to her face: "I love you!"

He wants to make her his wife and spend the rest of his life by her side.

But alongside the news about the cause of the fire at the Li family estate comes an urgent report from the border city: Barbarian invaders have attacked, and Li Fuyao, defender of the city, has been struck by six arrows.

New novel: The Gold-Digging Widow Becomes the Emperor's True Love

[Stunning, seductive gold-digging widow x Emperor who falls for her at first sight] (Both are sweet on the outside and scheming underneath, neither is pure; the male lead stops taking consorts right from the beginning, and the female lead has him wrapped around her finger from start to finish.)

The first time Zong Zheng Yu met Jiang Yunsheng, he thought her plain clothes could not hide her beauty, and that the new top scholar couldn't afford to keep her.

The second time Zong Zheng Yu met Jiang Yunsheng, he thought she was timid and delicate, and that it wasn't safe for her to live alone as a widow.

The third time Zong Zheng Yu met Jiang Yunsheng, he thought she was peerlessly alluring and belonged hidden away in a golden house.

Jiang Yunsheng feels unwell every few days and insists she can only get better by seeing Zong Zheng Yu. The palace is abuzz with gossip, and Madam Jiang is accused of growing arrogant because of the emperor's favor. Zong Zheng Yu agrees wholeheartedly. "I need to teach the Jiang woman a lesson."

But when Jiang Yunsheng sees him, she throws herself into his arms. "Your Majesty, I'm all alone in this world. You're the only family I have. I want nothing at all. I only beg you not to leave me."

With a beauty in tears before him, Zong Zheng Yu can no longer bring himself to scold her. Never mind, she just cares about him too much.

The people waiting for Jiang Yunsheng to be scolded: ???

Female lead: All I want is wealth and status. I have not an ounce of genuine affection.

Male lead: Everyone loves me for my power, but only my wife gives me true love.

The moment he says this, Zong Zheng Yu hears his wife telling her personal maid, "In this world, how can a woman get by without marrying? If you're going to marry anyway, you might as well marry the richest and most powerful man."

Zong Zheng Yu, the richest and most powerful man in the world, feels the sky falling.

Reading Guide:

1. Neither lead is pure. The female lead and the empress are not biological sisters. The emperor is extremely possessive and a little unhinged.

2. This novel includes domestic and palace intrigue. The female lead isn't a good person in the traditional sense, and is even a little wicked.

3. The female lead wants wealth, status, and a peaceful life. She has no political talent.

4. The female lead does not suffer! The female lead does not suffer! The female lead does not suffer!

Theme: A daughter should be strong and independent
