The Daily Life of a Concubine's Son

Forensic examiner Ye Baiqing transmigrates into a pampered young master from a novel—delicate waist, soft hands, utterly refined. Unfortunately, this "pampered" life holds no grand mansions, warm blankets, or swarms of servants. As the family of a convicted official, he’s thrown into a prison, on the verge of death. The brother he always treated as his own flesh and blood never once visits him. Instead, the brother gains merit by "righteously exposing" evidence against the family, rising to the rank of Vice Minister of Justice. To survive… it seems his only option is to return to his old profession. Solve cases to stay alive, crack mysteries to earn merits—corpses, promotions, amassing wealth, standing second only to the Northern Imperial Guards' commander, settling grievances with glee… bliss! In less than a year, the Imperial Guards crack bizarre cases one after another, leaving the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review scrambling to keep up. The imperial court's landscape shifts dramatically, delighting the Emperor, whose rewards for the Guard’s commander fill an entire table with scrolls. Recognizing the threat, the Eastern and Western Depots decide to intervene—each making their pitch: "Sir, look—our Eastern Depot meals come straight from the Imperial Kitchen, our lodgings are crafted by the Imperial Workshop, and our tools are the finest from the Imperial Household Department. Should you join us, my vast fortune is yours to share!" "Sir, look—our Western Depot meals are allocated by the Empress Dowager, our mansions once belonged to former high-ranking ministers, and our wares were once imperial tributes reserved for consorts. Should you join us, my fortune is the least of it—I’ll even call you godfather!" Chou Yiqing unbuckles his embroidered saber, hoists his little coroner into the room, and tugs his hand toward the clasp of his robe: *"My chefs hail from Shu, the summer pavilion is cooled by water, and winter rooms have heated floors. The bed isn’t large—but soft. Should you choose to stay... I am yours."* A thrilling mix of mystery-solving and sweetness, packed with plot!

Cui Yi thought he and his little wolf dog were both idiots. He dwelled on past regrets, physically disabled and mentally weak, cynical, extreme, always seeking death—with sharp eyes and ears all his life, yet he never realized the little wolf dog truly loved him. The little wolf dog was even dumber, abandoning his noble birth, choosing love over power, and ultimately dying for him, the so-called "beauty." He was a man—no curves, just hard muscle, unable to bear children or continue the family line. Why did the little wolf dog even bother? Given a second chance at life, Cui Yi resolved to live properly. First, eliminate those who wanted to torment him. Then, help the little wolf dog build a power base and secure the throne... Oh, and he had to time their meeting right—the little wolf dog was ruthless, suspicious, and if the first encounter didn’t go well, things could get messy later.

Lu Yue has crossed over into a new reality: His parents died tragically, their truth shrouded in mist with no one knowing the answers. Living under someone else’s roof, his aunt wishes him to remain meek and ‘frail’—just obedient enough—so that when he is eventually married off to Prince Ping’s household, his mother-in-law will finish him off with her own hands. He has a fiancé, betrothed before he was even born, said to be nine feet tall with a ghastly face and fangs, ruthless and cold-blooded, having slaughtered eighty thousand men—so terrifying he could silence a crying child. Yet this fiancé has never once come to see him. But Lu Yue refuses to lose heart. Because now, he possesses a healthy body and can use the forensic knowledge in his mind to pursue what he loves. With enough caution and care, he is sure to carve out a bright future for himself!
