Strange Cases of the Three Kingdoms

In the chaotic Jian'an era, a mysterious coffin appears in the Luo River in Luoyang, drifting against the current. Its sinister aura seeps into the bones, transforming living beings wherever it passes and unleashing ghosts and monsters. Zhong Yao, Commandant of the Capital, is entrusted with investigating the source of these strange events in a moment of crisis. His search leads to a blood-marked shield hidden by Dong Zhuo's former subordinates, a thousand-year-old jade effigy in Chang'an's Yong Alley, and the secrets of wronged souls haunting the Han palaces...

From the ruins of Luoyang to the haunted fortress of Meiwu, from the remnants of Chang'an's palaces to the depths of the earth's ley lines, Zhong Yao joins forces with the young Deng Ai, the calculating Jia Xu, and the righteous Guan Yu. He also encounters the mysterious Zuo Ci, the enigmatic Hu Che'er, and forces from all sides. They must unravel supernatural mysteries born of the sinister aura while struggling in the web of political intrigue spun by warlords such as Cao Cao, Li Jue, and Guo Si. It turns out that beneath the clash of blades in the Three Kingdoms' tumultuous age, threads of yin and yang have been entwined for thousands of years. Behind every strange affair lies an ultimate struggle between human nature and desire.
