Synopsis

Eight scenes in a fragmentary scroll conceal clues to a mysterious treasure. Foreigners are being decapitated, and factions everywhere are on the move.

Two tigers clash, leaving the situation in Jiangnan unpredictable. Who is pulling the strings? An unlikely team must turn the tide.

In the late Qing dynasty, a string of headless murders takes place in Hangzhou. At the same time, the Eight Views of Hushu, a painting said to conceal the location of a treasure lost by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, resurfaces in the jianghu. Fang Sixiang, a disciple of Piyun Temple, joins forces with his two friends, Lu Erfeng and Xia Zhao, to investigate. They discover that the Qing court, the foreigners, and the revolutionaries all want the treasure so they can control the railway. The three friends turn the tide and foil a mad scheme to blow up the railway. Fang Sixiang unravels the secrets of the Eight Views of Hushu and helps the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway begin construction without a hitch.

Any High-Quality Historical Novels? 😭😭😭😭

I want to read books similar to Father, Open the Door, I Brought Home the Trouble I Caused. The female lead should be intelligent. The male lead is optional. The author should have excellent writing. Please!
