The Greatest Female Detective in History

She is an ordinary policewoman on a criminal investigation team. While on a mission, a criminal stabbed her several times with a bucket. The next thing she knew, she’d been stabbed straight into a remote, godforsaken place in ancient times.

She was also saddled with an identity that couldn’t possibly be any more miserable.

Her eldest brother, Li Dazhuang, is a compulsive gambler.

Her second brother, Li Daniu, is stingy and miserly.

Her second sister-in-law, Xi Laifeng, is shrewish and opportunistic.

Her little sister, Li Dongwa, is naive and inexperienced.

Apart from her second brother and sister-in-law, who have moved out to fend for themselves, the other four people in the family depend on their frail, sickly father to earn a living selling flatbreads.

On her first day after transmigrating, she learns that her eldest brother had tricked her into a pond and drowned her for the sake of a measly two taels of silver, so he could sell her body to Master Tian’s son.

On the second day, she runs to her second brother’s butcher shop to shelter from the rain, only for her second sister-in-law to mistake her for a pork thief and chase her down the street with a broom.

She has a home she can’t return to and family she can’t acknowledge, when she happens to spot a notice!

The government office in Qijiawan Town is swamped with work and urgently hiring constables and detectives!

Requirements: Must be literate, brave, good at hand-to-hand combat, and, most importantly, unafraid of death!

Food and lodging included, with a monthly salary of two qian of silver!

This is heaven-sent! She attended a proper police academy and has plenty of experience. How could she fail to get a job as a constable?

She lands the job without a problem, but please…

How is a woman disguised as a man, working in the government office, supposed to manage?

Especially in summer, when everyone else can strip off and jump straight into a pond for a refreshing swim, while she has to stay on the bank and gather their clothes.

When the others get hot, they lounge on their beds with their shirts off, snoring away all day.

She can’t take off her clothes. She has to wrap herself up tight so the person sleeping beside her won’t spot anything suspicious.

Just as she overcomes one difficulty after another and settles into the job,

that damned eldest brother shows up with a grin, demanding money. When she refuses, he immediately turns nasty and threatens her: “You won’t give it to me? Then I’ll tell the county magistrate you’re a woman!”
