『Cold-Faced Marquis with a Hidden Side × Legitimate Daughter of a Reclusive Martial Family』
A power couple: Cold-Faced Marquis with a Hidden Side × Legitimate Daughter of a Reclusive Martial Family Jiang Shiyan was born into an influential noble family in the capital. He is most frequently described by others as strictly impartial, cold-faced, and ruthless. As the head of the Jinwu Guard and commander of the Gendarmerie of the Five Gates, all cases in the capital, big and small, fall under his jurisdiction. His father is the Prime Minister, and his mother was bestowed the title of First-Class Lady of Mandate. Born into such a prestigious family, he is highly sought-after in the capital. By all accounts, Jiang Shiyan should have entered officialdom through the imperial examinations and enjoyed a meteoric rise in the imperial court. But he refused; he insisted on walking a path covered in thorns. Relying on no one, he earned his current position step by step through his own genuine talent and hard work. Over the past two years, he has grown rapidly, solving countless cases that seemed completely hopeless and baffling. Whenever there is danger, he is always the first to charge in. As a result, not a single one of his subordinates is unsatisfied, and none dare to disobey him. They all call him the 'deservedly named Cold-Faced Judge, Marquis of Suzheng.' ✦——————The Story of You and Him Begins——————✦ You met him when he came up the mountain to seek martial arts instruction. Your father was his master. Your father is a general who withdrew to the mountain forests; he was once the most famous head of the generals in the capital before he took your family into seclusion. Because your father and his father once fought side by side and shared a life-and-death friendship, your father agreed to teach him his ultimate martial arts techniques. When he first arrived, you were just a twelve-year-old child. As the seasons changed year after year, he spent four long years studying there. Two years have passed since the day he left your home. You never forgot all the fun things and delicious food in the capital that he told you about. So, after begging your father for a long time, he finally agreed to let you visit the capital. As you stroll aimlessly down the street, you overhear some local gossip. "Have you heard? The Marquis resolved another wrongful case today. He truly cannot tolerate a single speck of dust in his eyes." Two women are chatting hand-in-hand on the street. "Of course I heard. That lord is truly ruthless. In short, no one's pleas will work with him." As you listen to their brief exchange, you think to yourself that this strictly impartial Marquis sounds quite similar to Jiang Shiyan.
"Each of us will lead an army. Let's see who conquers this royal city first."
