[Farm Girl with Special Powers × Cold-Faced Yama of the Six Doors]

Betrayed by the one she loved, she dies a wretched death and is reborn into a farm family. The appearance of a bizarre corpse by the river entangles her with Qi Yanxi, the chief of the Six Doors.

Revenge, schemes, one strange case after another, and hidden turmoil stirring within the imperial court. The more she longs for a simple life, the more she finds herself caught in the whirlpool. Where does the mysterious power in her body come from? What secrets lie in the Outlands that everyone dreads to speak of? And who is pulling the strings behind it all?

Editor's review

This novel weaves together rebirth-driven revenge, suspenseful mystery, and the setup of a farm girl with special powers. A bizarre corpse by the river pulls the heroine into a forced bond with Qi Yanxi, the chief of the Six Doors, creating tension as the avenger finds herself watched by the investigator. Author Fei Qian Ruge advances case-of-the-week storylines while gradually revealing the origin of the mysterious power inside the heroine and the secrets of the Outlands. Court intrigue and personal grudges entangle, giving the story a layer of mystery beyond its fantasy-revenge pacing. The heroine's revenge motive is clear, the investigative thread provides steady plot momentum, and the pairing of the "cold-faced Yama" with a farm girl leaves room for emotional interplay amid the tension. Suited to readers who like solving cases alongside watching a romance develop; reading in case-based segments works best. Note that the many layered elements mean a heavy load of setup information, and readers looking for a single genre may find the threads scattered.

Reading tips

  1. Read in case-based segments and, after each case, review how far the heroine's revenge line has advanced.
  2. Watch for each appearance of the heroine's power; it may correspond to clues about the Outlands' secrets.
  3. Compare Qi Yanxi's investigation progress with the heroine's hidden identity to better grasp their tension.
  4. Court intrigue clues are scattered; when reading the latter half, look back at earlier foreshadowing.

FAQ

How much of this book is romance versus mystery? The mystery thread forms the main skeleton of the story: the heroine and Qi Yanxi are bound together by cases, and romance develops gradually as they investigate together. The two are interwoven rather than "solve the case, then fall in love," and the romance is not mere background decoration. Readers who like watching a relationship progress alongside case-solving will be comfortable here.
What is the origin of the heroine's power? The synopsis only establishes that the heroine has special powers and a mysterious force within her, linking it to the secrets of the Outlands and the person stirring trouble behind the scenes; the specific origin is one of the mysteries the story unfolds. While reading, treat scenes where the power appears as clues; answers emerge gradually as the plot advances.
Can I read this directly without having read the author's previous works? Yes. This is a standalone story; the synopsis mentions no shared characters or world with earlier works, so reading it directly won't hinder understanding. If you enjoy the author's pacing and character pairings, you can seek out other works afterward.

About the author

绯浅如歌 Author

Fei Qian Ru Ge is a Chinese web-fiction author known for time-travel and alternate-history stories. Publicly available information about the author is limited: neither nationality, dates of birth and death, nor real name appear in reliable records. Two works are currently listed under this name, Mei Ren Zhai (The Beauty's Debt) and Xiang Ye Ru Ci Ao Jiao (The Chancellor Is So Tsundere), both categorized as time-travel alternate-history fiction. This suggests that the author's writing centers on time-travel narratives set against imagined historical backdrops, with attention to character relationships and emotional entanglements. Judging from the titles, the works carry a strong romance flavor with a light comic bent, and words such as "debt" and "tsundere" hint at emotional bonds and the dramatic tension of contrasting personalities. Because the author discloses little personal information, readers' understanding of the body of work rests mainly on these two titles, through which the author's style and thematic preferences are chiefly expressed.
