The Pagoda Mystery

Twenty years ago, a fire at Yong’an Palace killed Consort Shu, twelve embroiderers, and a crown prince.

Twenty years later, the same manner of death returns. A secret chamber, poisoned needles, severed fingers, one victim after another.

She is the only female junior minister in the Court of Judicial Review. She trusts evidence, not people.

He is the regent who wields power over the court, cold-blooded and ruthless, yet for some reason he has set his sights on her.

“You investigate your case, and I’ll uncover my own truth.”

“But we’re investigating the same thing.”

She doesn’t know that every corpse she examines is pushing her closer to the truth that was buried.

And the final mystery is her own identity.
