Synopsis

The Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion is known as the finest running-script calligraphy in the world. Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was so obsessed with Wang Xizhi's masterpiece that some say it was buried with him in his tomb, while others claim it was interred in Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi's Qianling Mausoleum. To fulfill Gaozong's final wish, Wu Zetian set out to find the lost Orchid Pavilion Preface and bury it with her husband. Her investigation revealed that the pavilion concealed a massive secret capable of overturning the imperial throne. A series of bloody murders rocked Luoyang, Wu Zetian nearly fell victim to an assassination, and Di Renjie vanished without a trace. Would he really stand by and do nothing, or was he directing events from the shadows?

The author must have truly mastered the Detective Dee series. The characters' personalities, language, style, and plot made it feel like I was watching a TV drama. Familiar faces like Liang Guanhua, Zhang Zijian, Lü Zhong, and Xu Qian appeared before my eyes with each scene, satisfying my craving for the fifth installment of Detective Dee.

As I continued watching, I felt increasingly immersed, as if I were witnessing the chubby Liang Guanhua, playing Judge Dee, solving the mystery of the Orchid Pavilion Preface. Looking forward to the sequel.

It's really good. I started reading it as a sleep aid; I was guaranteed to fall asleep if I didn't finish a chapter. But the more I read, the more exciting it became, and I couldn't put it down. After finishing this, I'll see if there are any other Di Renjie books. I really love this old man.

Finally, we've seen a version with Li Yuanfang! It feels like watching my favorite show, "Detective Dee," all over again. Watching Detective Dee solve cases is so exciting! I hope the author will write more!
