    Reader note

    In short: Set against the backdrop of the early Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu era, this story features a Taoist law enforcement agency resembling the Embroidered Uniform Guard, criminal investigation, realistic Taoist cultivation, and political turmoil. The saying, "Techniques are bounded by law, and the Tao is governed by discipline," is far more sophisticated than the "I desire boundless power to cultivate immortality" narrative. It truly addresses a simple yet compelling issue: one can seek the Tao, but cannot use it to harm others; sorcerers can communicate with the spirits, but cannot act lawlessly; even if you possess millennia-old secret techniques, the ghost of the Prince of Huainan, and the Taoist soldiers of a regional prince, the Taoist Censorate still possesses the "Great Ming Taoist Law." Tired of cultivation stories where "patriarchs are always hypocritical, immortals are forever detached from worldly affairs, and the protagonist ascends to immortality by picking up treasures along the way"? This Hongwu-era supernatural detective story, where "Taoist crimes are punished, murders committed with talismans are examined, and even celestial masters are subject to the dictates of historical destiny," is quite refreshing.
