Chronicles of the Azure Sky

Ren Benwu, born into a merchant family, began studying to change his fate and honor his mother.

After failing the imperial examination for the first time, he was nearly killed by bandits, but a female hero saved him. That was when he realized that the world was far from peaceful.

The second time he took the examination, he somehow became a murder suspect before even entering the capital. His future was the least of his worries; his life was at stake. After doing everything he could to clear his name, he came to understand that people took the imperial examinations to become officials, but that there was much to be done once they did.

Theme: A case reveals the circumstances of every stratum of the dynasty.
