    Synopsis of *The Iron-Lawed Censor*: The Great Cheng Dynasty governs the land with ironclad laws. The Censorate hangs like a sword of Damocles, with eight unyielding censors standing beneath the mythical beast Xie Zhi—and Shen Ye is the youngest and most "mad" of them all. He begins his investigation with a case of embezzlement, tearing away the veil of smuggling in a border town, unaware that he has stepped into a vast web of power struggles that has gripped the court for twenty years. Grand Secretary Lin Ruhai wields absolute power, the imperial authority is weak, and all those who have touched the truth have become corpses in a deep pit in the Taihang Mountains. But Shen Ye refuses to believe in this evil. He carries a blue edict unearthed from the pit—a relic of the founding emperor, "whoever holds this edict shall patrol on behalf of Heaven." He knocks open the Desheng Gate under the blades of the Imperial Guards, forces the Grand Secretary to kneel before the iron stele in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and uncovers the mystery of a divine weapon spanning generations of emperors in a thousand-year-old underground palace. From a border town embezzlement case to a secret underground palace capable of destroying a dynasty; from a lone, courageous censor's pursuit of a criminal to three generations building a backbone of strength with their blood and flesh. This was a desperate battle fought by a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but also a relay race passed down through generations. "May those who come after have no regrets." He wasn't just investigating a case; he was investigating the backbone of Dacheng.

    "Mr. Chen, my eldest sister doesn't like taking pictures, and she looks almost exactly like my second sister—you've seen her before." With just that one sentence, Hu Lingyi became Chen's second wife. Mr. Chen disliked her for her plain looks, but he couldn't help but admire her shrewdness—no penny of the Chen family's three-year income escaped her calculations. She established herself in the Chen family through her abilities, but just as she did, a strange illness struck. Coughing up blood, running out of medicine, and her backyard turning to dust—the same fate befell the two first wives. She was sent back to her parents' home, and her family's situation improved. Lingheng became a complete villain; her second sister was gently fed meat by him, without any joy or sorrow; her third brother sat under the pomegranate tree all day, silently holding an empty cricket jar. After her death, her eldest brother said the coffin was expensive and threw away a roll of straw mat. Her third brother only knew how to carry the coffin but not how to throw the straw mat, and was trampled on the ground and beaten. The only man to collect her body—Cheng Yanchi—was beaten to death at the dock simply because his second sister pleaded for him when he was about to take her away. Later, Boss Chen wanted to remarry Lingxian, but was killed by Ling Heng. Lingxian looked down at the mass on the ground and whispered, "Brother, I don't want to eat meat today." Ling Heng went to prison, and the Hu family was destitute. Reborn, Hu Lingyi refused to marry. Hu Lingxian was still the same flesh-and-blood, calculating second sister, throwing the problem of a hundred silver dollars to Cheng Yanchi with a single sentence. Cheng Yanchi forged a marriage certificate, and Hu Lingyi became a female accountant at an orphanage. Boss Chen took a new wife, and the Chen family's sins continued in this life.
