I was the beloved son of the youngest Chief Astrologer of the Great Jing court. Born into a wealthy family, I was cherished from childhood and should have enjoyed a smooth, peaceful life under my father’s protection.
But the court was a treacherous place. Corrupt officials schemed in secret, fabricating charges to seize power and conceal their plots. Overnight, my father was falsely accused and convicted. The once-prominent Chen family fell into ruin and was utterly destroyed.
At the moment of crisis, Su Huaian, my father’s old and trusted friend, stepped forward to protect me. He took me in as his disciple and led me away from the turmoil of court. From then on, I traveled among the common folk with my master, beginning my journey by solving one strange and sinister case after another, including deadly feng shui formations. With every challenge, I grew stronger.
Along the way, we found some of my father’s former loyal subordinates and won the covert support of a righteous local magistrate. Step by step, we gathered evidence about the wrongful case and traced clues pointing to the mastermind behind it.
From the bustling streets and the jianghu, we gradually made our way back to the heart of the court. We peeled away layer after layer of deception, tore off the corrupt officials’ disguises, and finally drove the true culprit, the one controlling everything from the shadows, into a corner and exposed him for who he really was.
In the end, I personally sent every villain who had framed my father and persecuted loyal men to the executioner’s block. An eye for an eye, I cleared my father’s name after years of injustice, vindicated the Chen family’s age-old grievance, and restored justice to the world.
