Your Excellency, Please Wait

[An enigmatic, dangerously beautiful male lead with a twisted mind VS a clear-eyed female lead focused on climbing the career ladder]

When Gu Nanfeng was twenty,

she thought she would have the same life as any ordinary official's daughter:

marry her fiancé and have one or two children,

then live in harmony, playing music together, supporting her husband and raising their children...

She never expected that what awaited her first would not be a bridal sedan, but the Gu family's sudden downfall, the dissolution of her engagement, and news of her own "death."

At nineteen, Zhu Ye'an was handsome and exceptionally well-read,

but as a son born of a concubine, he could only be a tool in the hands of his legitimate elder brother.

While investigating the mystery of his mother's death, he nearly lost his life several times, and was then banished far away to a small county outside the imperial capital.

He had no choice but to watch the truth slip further and further out of reach...

In the eighth year of Yongjia,

corruption at court persisted despite repeated crackdowns, and the emperor intended to reestablish the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

And so, through a twist of fate, two people burdened by hatred began serving the Son of Heaven, joining forces to investigate cases.

Zhu Ye'an was devious and would stop at nothing to get his way, often recklessly testing the limits of danger.

Fortunately, Gu Nanfeng was there to grab hold of his twitching tail and keep him from charging headlong down the road to self-destruction.

As deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Gu Nanfeng had plenty of grievances against her commander, a man who was neither wholly good nor wholly evil.

They say a deputy commander who doesn't want to be commander isn't a good deputy commander.

And so, every day, the commander found himself beset by troubles both within and without.
