A collection of case notes written by the Lu family. From the power struggles of the Kangxi era to the mysteries of the Republican period, these notes preserve the dark rules and survival tactics passed down through generations of the Lu family.
A corruption case involving the Yellow River, the massacre of the Fucha family, and the theft of a hundred thousand silver dollars in the Republican era.
Behind every case lies more than the truth: there are power plays and schemes.
The Lu family are masters of calculation and political maneuvering, with a keen understanding of human nature.
Yet no matter how they calculate, they cannot work out the fate of family and country.
Do the notes record the means of survival, or the truth?
