The Prodigal of Chang’an

(Historical mystery + political intrigue and martial world + multiple protagonist groups + wuxia duels)

Everyone says Xiao Qianzui is a carefree rogue, forever frequenting brothels and consorting with beauties. But no one knows what his past holds...

Xiao Qianzui's nickname is “Drunken Cat.” His sworn brother is a junior minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and his close friend is the younger sister of a top-ranking court official.

Unfortunately, Xiao Qianzui accidentally offended the prime minister. Though he thwarted the enemy state's covert operation, he was thrown into the dungeons of the Court of Judicial Review. What bitter irony...

Ghostly shadows, assassinated officials, enemy assassins, the Thousand Mechanisms Hall, a world of tangled intrigues: how will Xiao Qianzui find his way through it all?
