The Jade Heart Chronicles

(BL, court intrigue, martial world) Twenty years ago, Marquis Jing'an Xie Chongqian was framed for colluding with the enemy and betraying his country. When his entire family was executed, only the infant Xie Chengyuan survived, rescued by a righteous martial artist. At the same time, Gu Mingzhu's father, Gu Xiuyuan, was demoted for pleading on the Xie family's behalf, binding the two families together in secret. Now a new emperor has ascended the throne, and the court is swept up in the "Era Name Change Case." Fragments of the Imperial Jade Seal, said to hold the power to sway the throne, have appeared in the martial world. Xie Chengyuan returns to the capital through Listening Snow Tower, while Gu Mingzhu is drawn into the struggle over the crown prince's succession. Bound by their childhood ties, the two join forces to break the deadlock, but their goals of "purging the emperor's inner circle" and "restoring their family" gradually drive them apart. In the end, they discover that every conspiracy points to the long-buried "Blue Jade Case" from twenty years ago. The Xie family was wiped out for protecting the true Imperial Jade Seal.
