[Lively, smart, sinister and evil coffin shop owner's daughter VS cold, ascetic and slimy minister of punishment]
As the only daughter of a century-old coffin shop owner, Ming Zhao has lived a smooth and peaceful life for the past sixteen years. She has no big ambitions and just wants to keep the shop. When she is old enough, she will recruit a son-in-law and together they can run the coffin shop for another hundred years.
Unexpectedly, an imperial edict came down and she, a person born on a yin day in a yin year and a yin month, was given a marriage to Xie Lin, the youngest minister of the Ministry of Punishment in Chang'an City.
Everyone knows that Xie Linsheng has the appearance of an immortal, cold and noble, and is the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water that countless noble girls can't reach.
But it was also rumored that he was destined to be evil and would not live to be twenty years old.
Now he is nineteen, with only one year left to live.
And she married him to prolong his life.
On the night of the wedding, a sudden heavy rain hit Chang'an's Zhuque Street, and a ghostly bride appeared on Zhuque Street in Chang'an, walking faintly with her bare feet on the blood.
The next day, five female corpses in red clothes floated up in Jiuyou Canal. Their deaths were strange and their faces were smiling...
Strange cases occur one after another, and undercurrents surge under the seemingly prosperous city of Chang'an.
According to folk rumors, the marriage between the minister of punishment and the daughter of the coffin shop owner offended the gods and was not tolerated by heaven.
The Holy Emperor was furious and ordered the two of them to investigate the case together. If the truth could not be found out, they would both lose their heads.
Ming Zhao looked at Xie Lin in the clear breeze and said dissatisfiedly: "Look, look, I said we are not suitable, but you don't believe it."
Xie Lin raised his eyes lightly and said in a low voice: "I have determined the marriage between you and me. If the law of heaven does not allow it, I will kill it."
It turned out that what she thought was a life-for-life was actually his long-planned plan.
1. It's still suspense reasoning and micro-terrorist investigation.
2. There is a love line, the male and female protagonists get married first and then fall in love.
Intention: to know people, faces but not hearts
