[No time travel, no rebirth, temple intrigues + ancient suspense, micro-group portraits]
In the last years of the late Emperor's reign, a case of witchcraft shocked the government and the public, resulting in the deaths of twenty-one people and the dismissal of countless officials.
In the court, all the Cui family's children were deprived of their official titles and expelled from the capital. Countless officials wrote letters begging Emperor Taizong to take back their orders, but in exchange they were punished with the imperial staff, which chilled the courtiers.
This started the largest dismissal from office since the founding of the Tianyan Dynasty.
The Cui family of Qinghe, the most prosperous family in the world, was banned from the imperial examination and became an official, and it fell into ruin;
The presiding official Gu Huaibang was hacked to death and his body was buried in the moat;
After the new king came to the throne, his concubine Cui was sent to the cold palace and wasted half of her life;
His son Tantai Yan was expelled from Beijing and imprisoned in Jinling, forcing him to stay away from the center of power.
The first confrontation between the royal family and the noble family ended with the royal family winning a great victory and the noble family losing in embarrassment.
But the story never ends, it just disappears temporarily, waiting to lie dormant. The injustices of the past will be corrected, and new vitality is ready to emerge.
Today's story is still a continuation of the past.
An ominous ghost baby born in a coffin, a county official's bizarre suicide, a corpse floating in the water, a white clay doll, the dead with his toes pointed backwards, a corpse without any scars...
Are these killings motivated by selfish motives or a conspiracy to subvert the country?

Reader comments
The writing is very good and really well connected. However, some of the titles are incorrect. Book friends who came here because of the title of the book should pay attention. This is a power-seeking article. Solving the case only covers the first part. I have seen 147 chapters, 80% of which is about power-seeking.
Come on, it looks great! [Sending Hearts]
This is a Machiavellian novel that was seriously delayed by its rating. It should at least be rated 9 or above. The plot is written to perfection, the writing is smooth and capable, but the weaker part is the development of the emotional line. If you like plot novels, this book is definitely worth reading.
Not enough, not enough at all [crying]

I haven't finished reading yet, what is the identity of the heroine? [Thinking]
I like the author's writing style. It saved me from my recent book drought. I must keep updating.
Excellent writing, thinking, and character creation
It's so nice [Sending my heart] The author of such a novel should sit in front of the computer and update it non-stop.
Beautiful, the content is very attractive
The story links closely adhere to the theme, and the hero and heroine have good characters.
Not bad. Very interesting. The plot is very interesting.
It has a strong sense of intrigue and the story is novel and very attractive to me.
It was very well written, it reminded me of Nirvana in Fire, but the ending was a bit rushed. What is civil war and disunity? I wonder if there will be a second part.
The plot is exciting, the writing is fluent, and it's a rare book!
Super exciting, the male and female protagonists have online IQs. Why is no one watching?
