   Hello everyone, I'm recommending this to anyone interested in Tang Dynasty and martial arts stories. The protagonist suffers from amnesia due to trauma, but only remembers one feeling and one name. He hides his trauma with coldness. There are two female leads, but not much romance at the beginning. The focus is on solving cases, making it more of an ensemble piece. There's also a pairing of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi. The two female leads are a traumatized ice block and a persistent sunshine.
