Suspenseful detective work + female widower story + trust and redemption + high-intelligence game + power struggle + fantasy + scientific case solving
Shen Qingya, a widower who possesses a family's unique knowledge but has to live in Yi Zhuang because of her status as a woman, is ordered to investigate a tragedy involving the massacre of a royal family.
All the evidence pointed to a rogue robbery, except that she found a half-clutched fragment of a double-moon jade pendant in the hands of the deceased, an old prince who was obsessed with epigraphy.
When she ventured into the secret room of the palace, she discovered that the complete jade pendant pattern completely coincided with the location of the Dragon Vein Golden Grotto marked in the "Secret Map of the Former Dynasty". Gu Lin, the cold-faced criminal officer who was ordered to supervise the case and repeatedly made things difficult for her, had the other half of a jade pendant hanging on his waist.
