The moment I opened the book, my eyes were firmly caught by the mist, rain and fog of Bianjing City in the Northern Song Dynasty. The author's narrative skills are really amazing. Those details that seem to be scattered casually and scenes that are brushed aside are actually subtle foreshadowing. From the embroidered flag conveying secrets to the black lotus claiming life, from the serial murder case to the massacre ten years ago, every clue is like a precision gear, and is tightly tied into a complete closed loop when the truth is revealed. During the reading process, I was shocked by the reversals several times and got chills on my back, but I couldn't help but go back and look for the foreshadowing of the previous article. This kind of sudden realization that "it turned out to have been hinted" is the most charming part of mystery novels.
I read the updated chapters in one go and was completely captivated by this suspense story of the Northern Song Dynasty! The author takes Bianliang during the Kaibao period as the stage, and uses murder cases with lotus patterns to weave a web of suspense nested in layers. Ning Yanzhi, an orphan from Bailian Pavilion, Su Qingyue, a medical girl with special skills in detecting poisons, and Cao Xingran, a young minister of Dali Temple who is deeply involved in the power struggle in the court. Three people with different pasts meet fatefully due to a series of murders. Their characters are distinct and complementary, making people excited to watch. The rhythm of the story is relaxed and relaxed, and the details of the cases such as the embroidered flags passing secrets and the incense frightening are full of ancient suspense. The clues of the lotus pattern are throughout, which not only connects the old case of the destruction of the White Lotus Pavilion ten years ago, but also involves the collusion between the traitors in the court and the Jianghu traitors. There are many and clever foreshadowings, and every twist is unexpected. The author's depiction of the atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty's marketplace and court is also spot-on. There is an ancient charm between the lines. While the sense of suspense is high, the bond between the three of them fighting side by side against the overwhelming power is also particularly moving. Overall, the logic of the story is online, the character arcs are beginning to appear, and the suspense lines are perfectly intertwined with the revenge lines and the conspiracy lines. It is completely a treasure of ancient suspense novels that I have recently discovered! I look forward to the following three people uncovering the shocking secrets under the lotus, and I also look forward to the author bringing more high-energy plots!
This suspense story set in the Northern Song Dynasty achieves a smooth integration of Jianghu detectives and court intrigues. The beginning of the chapter unfolds the mystery of the murderous cases with lotus patterns that occurred one after another in Bianliang. The three protagonists enter the game with their own obsessions: Ning Yanzhi is hiding in secret with the hatred of annihilating his clan, Su Qingyue relies on her ability to identify poisons to clear the grievances of her loved ones, and Cao Xingran is forced to get involved in the court game while investigating the case impartially. The foreshadowing of the unit murder continues to retrace the destruction of Bailian Pavilion ten years ago, and the serial murders among the people gradually reveal the deep-seated conspiracy of the evil spirits in the court colluding with Jianghu to rebel against the party. The plot not only piles up detective routines, but also depicts the fateful bond between the protagonists who get to know each other in a crisis. The suspense of the case is online, and the sense of the ancient times is solid. The game of intrigues adds tension to the plot, and the characters are full of motivations. It is suitable for readers who prefer ancient suspense and plot-based works.
I finished "The Suspense Code of the Northern Song Dynasty: Lotus Case" in one go. The ancient style suspense is written so well, the three characters have their own highlights, the foreshadowing is cleverly laid out, and the plot is compact. It is a must-try for lovers of ancient style detectives!
Taking the serial murder case as the starting point, one is instantly drawn into the tense atmosphere. Coupled with the author's superb narrative and rhythm control abilities, people unconsciously want to find out. The writing is excellent and the logic is rigorous. The more I read it, the more I like it. I read it from beginning to end in one go. I look forward to the exciting follow-up.
Good! During the Kaibao period of the Northern Song Dynasty, murder cases occurred repeatedly in Bianliang, and power struggles in the court were intertwined with grievances and grudges in the world. Ning Yanzhi, the orphan of Bailian Pavilion, Su Qingyue, a prodigy in identifying poison, and Cao Xingran, the young minister of Dali Temple, became connected due to the case. In the puzzle of embroidered banners and black lotus, they traced the truth about the family extermination ten years ago. The foreshadowing is meticulous, the Song Dynasty charm is strong, and the hard-core detective quality is full. It is an ancient style suspense masterpiece full of tension.

During the Kaibao period of the Northern Song Dynasty, serial murders occurred frequently in Bianliang City, unveiling a shocking mystery involving power struggles in the court and grievances in the world. Ning Yanzhi, the orphan of Bailian Pavilion, Su Qingyue, a prodigy in identifying poisons, and Cao Xingran, the young minister of Dali Temple, became connected because of the case, and their fates have been entangled ever since. The embroidered flag conveys secrets, the black lotus demands life, and the suspense advances layer by layer. The truth about the murder of the family ten years ago gradually emerges. The novel has meticulous foreshadowing, a unique Song Dynasty background, a suspenseful atmosphere, and a hard-core investigative quality similar to "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty". The three of them face the powerful dark forces with their humble bodies, and persistently pursue justice and truth in the shadow of swords and swords. The plot is ups and downs and full of tension. This novel by the author can be called a masterpiece of suspense and should not be missed.
Reading this novel, I felt like I was watching a TV series again. Everything in my mind was filled with specific things, including characters, costumes, architecture, dialogues, and shapes. It was the first time I encountered such a fascinating novel!
Really, I didn't expect this book to be so beautiful. The author's writing style is very solid, the rhythm is tight, and it progresses layer by layer. I can't stop reading it once I read it. I admire the author's imagination. It's great. It will definitely become a hit!
With justice as the core, reasoning and medical theory, the complex and confusing court conspiracies and the truth of Jianghu grievances are revealed after each murder case. The plot is ups and downs, full of suspense, and the reasoning is tight. Five-star praise [like] [like]
