A World Without Poison: Poisonous Shadows in the Dark

A scheming young gentleman and a steadfast, passionate Embroidered Uniform Guard join forces against a drug lord!

The Ming dynasty’s Embroidered Uniform Guards take on drug lords, dealers, and addicts, tearing open a vast web of narcotics!

In the winter of the thirty-fourth year of the Jiajing reign, snow fell thickly and icy winds howled. A squad of Embroidered Uniform Guards galloped along, led by Lu Kun, clad in a flying-fish robe with an embroidered spring saber at his waist, cutting an imposing figure.

According to intelligence, a mysterious group on the outskirts of the capital was testing drugs on living people. Its power was growing by the day, threatening the city. Lu Kun never imagined that tearing open this vast web of narcotics would expose not only shocking cases involving hauntings, baby theft, and wife-murder, but also entangle princes, powerful ministers, aristocrats, spies, bandits, and other forces...

Drawing on historical records and folk legends about various anti-drug campaigns, this book depicts the passionate, perilous, and brutal fight against narcotics from the perspective of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. It brings nearly a hundred vivid characters from both sides of the law to life, while also reflecting on history and human nature.
