What Can You Do To This Official?

A wild and unrestrained Dali Temple officer (Shaoqing) meets a free-spirited, seemingly gentle but actually dark swordsman.

"I wasn't born fearless, but I also don't fear dangerous paths."

Rumor has it that Dali Temple Shaoqing, Lou Wanqiao, is untamed, cold-faced, and iron-blooded. Her one embroidered spring blade has determined the life and death of countless individuals.

Yet, no one knows that decades ago, her family doted on her, calling her Jiao Jiao. A wrongful case left over a dozen members of the Liu family without a resting place. Liu Jiao Jiao changed her name to Lou Wanqiao, climbing from the mud and mire to the high position of Dali Temple Shaoqing, determined to personally slay her enemies before the sun rises.

The path of revenge is long, and she proceeds cautiously, breaking through the situation with her own body. Along the way, she unearths the deeply rotten roots of the dynasty. As the saying goes, the Emperor's heart is unfathomable. If the monarch wishes his minister dead, then the minister shall simply replace the monarch!

Thus, Lou Wanqiao punished villains, overthrew the dynasty, supported a new emperor, set the world right, and saved all living beings—and also accepted a sword from a Jianghu knight-errant.

The first time Lou Wanqiao met Wen Xuechi was in the mountain forest outside the city. He sat on a tree, drinking wine while gazing at the moon, with only a sword by his side, and very kindly offered a helping hand. Lou Wanqiao looked at him and accepted one of the few "friends" in her life.

Later, she fell into a trap and used it to feign death and escape. She thought they would never meet again, only to see that long sword once more in the capital. The sword's owner stared at her, the ice and snow in his eyes melting.

Having seen through the darkness beneath his carefree facade, Lou Wanqiao looked up and asked, "Swordsman, if the law is unjust and your heart is uneasy, what should be done?" He pursed his lips and remained silent, so she drew her blade, answering for him:

"—Then, cut down the injustices in my heart!"

The white-clad young swordsman was unrestrained and free, wielding a long sword, living in solitude in the mortal world for several years. He once rode his horse across the world, watching sunsets, and also fought desperately on the battlefield against thousands of soldiers. No one knew that he had once stood in the imperial court, second only to one person, looking down at the distant Jianghu path.

The court was in ruins, beyond saving. He originally thought this life would be nothing more than watching flowers, moon, and the human world in Jianghu. He never expected that one day, someone would just carry a blade and break into the human world he saw.

She was not born fearless, yet she was unstoppable, unafraid of the treacherous path to heaven. His dormant heart surged anew; he changed his mind and decided to stand alongside her!

"Love me or hate me, I will only be myself. From now until eternity, the road stretches ahead!" "...Hey, all of you, what can you do to this official?"

1. The female protagonist initially presents herself as her deceased elder brother. The position of Dali Temple Shaoqing was obtained by the female protagonist through her own abilities; it is merely a professional identity, and there are almost no detective elements in the novel.

2. The characters are not perfect. The female protagonist is sometimes vicious, highly intelligent, and highly skilled in martial arts. The male protagonist's personality shows a contrast before and after.

3. Suggestions are accepted, and revisions can be made at any time.
