The biggest mystery of the Ming Dynasty is not the strife in the palace or the usurpation of the throne by powerful officials.
But one person - Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.
Did he die in that fire? Did he escape? Did he die in a deserted mountain temple with the ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern?
Forty years later, the young Emperor Xuanzong, Zhu Zhanji, discovered a secret edict in old files. There are only four words in the secret edict: Trace Jianwen.
From this moment on, a secret that had been buried for nearly thirty years began to loosen.
It is like a cold snake, emerging from the cracks of history, spitting out letters, and crawling towards every palace gate of the Forbidden City.
Someone wants to uncover it.
Someone wanted to bury it.
Someone wants to take advantage of it.
Some people want to trade it for their lives.
Zhu Zhanji believes that finding the truth can bring justice to history.
But when he really stood in front of that barren tomb, holding the cold jade seal passed down from the country in his hand, he finally understood——
Some problems cannot be solved in one generation.
Some truths cannot be faced by one generation.
Only time can be left.
Leave it to future generations.
Leave it to history.

The writing in the blank spaces of history has a clear logical structure and good characterization.
