You Were Sent to Die as a Substitute Bride, but Became a Brilliant Princess Consort

[Gender-Swap Romance] [Mystery] [Suspense] [Political Intrigue] [Alternate History] [Pure Romance]

Everyone knows that the matriarch of the Prince of Pingnan's household is Su Ningyue. From court intrigues to conflicts in the martial world, Su Ningyue breaks death curses and solves conspiracies and bizarre cases, outwitting everyone under heaven. They all call her the Princess Consort Detective.

Su Ning, an overworked contractor for a certain public security bureau, transmigrates into another world, becoming Su Ningyue, an illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Ningyuan's household in the Wu Dynasty.

Su Ningyue: "Is this the right gender?"

But then she has to take her legitimate elder sister's place and marry into the Prince of Pingnan's household as his consort.

Su Ningyue: "What the hell? I just got here and I'm already getting married?"

She thought this would be the usual story of an illegitimate daughter turning the tables and getting back at her legitimate elder sister. But she never expected to be dragged into an even bigger whirlpool. The Prince of Pingnan's household has lost three consorts in a row to "accidents," and on the wedding day, a headless corpse surfaces in the rear courtyard.

Su Ningyue: "Is this really how household-intrigue stories go?"

From the headless corpse case in the prince's rear courtyard to the case of the prince supposedly bringing death to his wives, one bizarre and uncanny mystery after another comes knocking, each fraught with danger.

To survive, she must turn her fate around and seek the truth amid the fog of this strange conspiracy. (P.S. The story has a touch of horror. If you get scared, the author takes no responsibility.)

This is also a story about a modern, unpromising forensic trainee who changes sex and becomes an ancient-era princess consort, learns martial arts alongside a demon prince, solves cases, and ends up completely assimilating into a female role.

(P.S. They get together quickly, and the couple is super sweet, with no angst.)
