About This Novel

In the first year of Hongguang, the Qing army suppressed the country, but the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty was in a state of intoxication and endless party disputes. At this time of crisis, mysterious cases occurred one after another in Jinling City: A headless female corpse emerged from the Rouge Well; she was skinned in public by the Qinhuai River; a blood list of thirty-seven innocent souls was discovered in the Gongyuan; the glazed pagoda of Dabaoen Temple wept with blood and tears at night, and it was rumored that the dragon's veins would be cut off... Shen Yan, the female accountant of Tingyun Pavilion, was forced to be involved in the unjust case of her father (Dong Lin Yichen). She formed the "Remnant Lantern Society" with the mysterious mute Wu Tongue, the Jin Yiwei Lu Zheng, and the Qinhuai courtesan Liu Yanqiao to track down the truth in the countdown to the city's destruction. From the strange news in the market to the secrets of the palace, from the Qinhuai River to the underground palace of Xiaoling, the four people ignited a glimmer of light in a desperate situation. However, the building will collapse and it will be difficult to support a single tree. When the sky lanterns turned into fire and rain, and the Qing army crossed the Yangtze River, they ushered in the end: One person carries the jade ultimatum and the edict and goes south to look for Zhu Ming's bloodline among the people; One man returned to the sea of fire and died with the city; One person goes north to join the remaining troops and make a last-ditch effort; A man sneaked into the enemy camp and used his body as a candle. "A country may perish, but its history cannot be extinguished; although the lamp is dim, its light still illuminates the night." "Records of Broken Lanterns" connects nine strange cases to outline the appearance of all living beings in the last days of the Southern Ming Dynasty: loyal, traitorous and perverse, and people's hearts separated. In the irreversible destiny of the country, the story is about the perseverance of a group of "lamplighters" - what they protect is not a dynasty, but an immortal conscience in troubled times, a spark for the inheritance of civilization, and the character of scholars who "know what cannot be done but do it".
