In the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, the empty seal case occurred.
Wuyue, the captain of the Jinyi Guards School, went south to Chengdu as He Lan's adopted son, to investigate a local corruption case openly and to pursue an old debt secretly. The land of Shu is thick with fog. There is a human life hidden behind every account book, and there is a blade buried under every confession. The more she investigated, the more she discovered that the end of the case was connected to a past that she didn't even dare to touch.
There are not only corrupt officials in the fog, but also pairs of invisible hands.
