[Mystery solving + choosing each other wholeheartedly + protecting the realm + sweet and angsty romance + devoted to each other alone]
Mu Jianghe, chief constable of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, is known to the world as the “Black-and-White Judge.” The black is for his brutal interrogation methods; the white is for his incorruptible service as an official, spending his whole life protecting the peace of Great Cang. He rose to the position of chief constable to protect Great Cang and clear his father’s name. He walked that lightless road for ten years, until one day, a woman came to his door seeking medicine...
The gates of Mu Manor, home of the Black-and-White Judge, are usually deserted. Someone coming to ask for medicine must have been sent there under false pretenses...
Through a twist of fate, Jiang Yin joins the bureau as an officer. Before long, she solves case after case...
Jiang Yin calls Mu Jianghe “Jingchuan,” his courtesy name. Jingchuan means “scenic river.”
They thought the realm was at peace, but after lying low for two years, the Church of Eternal Life suddenly reemerges.
“Think of eternal life, pray for eternal life, and with a sincere heart, your wish will be answered.” Its followers bear phoenix-tail marks on their arms, and its leader is connected to the imperial family and nobility. The imperial household is a forest of bones. Beneath its brocade splendor, human hearts are entangled...
Where does a case that begins in the dust end? And what lies beneath the dust?
That day, Mu Jianghe left a kiss on Jiang Yin’s forehead. “A Yin, I’m sorry.”
After he left, a tear ran from the corner of Jiang Yin’s eye. She said in her heart, “Jingchuan, I love you.”
The capital is rife with intrigue, but they continue to walk the righteous path.
