Taoist suspense·Historical intrigue·Two-way redemption
The sky rains millet, and the ghosts cry at night. Bianjing, which was in the seventh year of the Zhenghe period, was being eroded by a silent rain of poison.
"National Preceptor" Lu Chen is a demon in the eyes of the world and a puppet in the hands of the emperor. He refined poisons, destroyed Buddhas, amassed wealth, and earned himself eternal infamy. Only he knows that every "evil deed" he does is to prolong the life of this dynasty that is about to collapse - the fate of the country is about to collapse, and he is willing to be the woodcutter who burns the ancestral hall, exchanging a stigma for a chance of survival.
"Medical Girl" Su Tan'er came to investigate the "Golden Poison Case" in Bianjing. She saw through all his disguises and insisted on walking into his dark night. When the whole city was in turmoil, she was the only one holding the silver needle, and when he was on the verge of collapse, she asked: "Mr. Lu, I will try your poison with you."
"Diagram of the Water Vein in Jinming Pond", "Gunpowder Case in Buddhist Temple", "Mysterious Trace of the Eunuch with Missing Finger" - all the mysterious cases point to a turbulent hand deep in the court hall. And the chess game played by Lu Chen has just begun: using his body as bait and poison as his blade, on the eve of the Jingkang Incident, he will play the last game against this decadent world.
