The Case Files of Shen Yu and Su Wanqing

During the Zhenguan era, the mysterious destruction of an imperial painting brings together Shen Yu, a Court of Judicial Review official who champions absolute reason, and Su Wanqing, a female Ministry of Works official with the gift of “microscopic insight.” One believes in statutes and regulations, while the other trusts the “language” of objects. Though their principles conflict, the two are forced to join hands and unravel the mystery. They face not only meticulously planned crimes, but also tangled political undercurrents and a shocking past deliberately buried for years.
