Synopsis
During the Yonghe period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, undercurrents surged in Jinling City. Qing Fengjiao, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, appears to be a lady who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in fact she is obsessed with the art of punishment and prison. She often secretly reads "The Record of Cleansing Wrongdoes" and "The Turtle Mirror of Prison Breaking". Xu Suiyan, the prince of Jingyuan, was promoted to general at a young age and had great military exploits. However, he was regarded as an "evil star" by the courtiers because of his cold temperament. During a Qionglin banquet, Qingfengjiao played the harp under the pear tree in the imperial garden. The sound of the harp attracted Xu Suiyan, who left the palace incognito. The two of them didn't know each other's identity, but at the moment when the strings broke, their eyes met and they had a startling glance. Soon, a "serial murder case involving red-sleeved geishas" broke out in the capital. The victims had half-moon-shaped scars on their necks. The government hastily closed the case, and the innocent people were innocent. Qing Fengjiao secretly investigated the case in order to save her maid's brother; Xu Suiyan was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case secretly. The two met again in a book shop because they were competing for the last copy of "The Collection of Redress of Wrongs". He changed his name to "Xu Yan" and claimed to be a junior official in the Ministry of Punishment, while she disguised herself as a man and lied about investigating the case for her brother. She is good at observing details and can deduce the origin of the embroiderer from the stitches of the rouge flower. He is proficient in martial arts and can explore the evidence room at night as if he is in a deserted place. In the name of a poetry club, she went around among noble ladies to get clues; on the pretext of investigating a case, he went into the dark alleys of gambling houses to track down the real murderer. However, there is much more involved behind the case than just a murder case—— - Why was the case file of the minister of Dali Temple who died suddenly three years ago burned? - Why did Li Chongyi, the son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, privately manufacture weapons from the Western Regions? - What is the connection between the frequent visits of Turkic caravans to Jinling and the border wars? - And why did Concubine Chen, who lived deep in the harem, pay special "care" to Qing Fengjiao? When the truth gradually emerges, the identities of the two people can no longer be concealed—— She was the daughter of a high-ranking civil servant, and her marriage was not her own choice; he was the son of a general, and his marriage had to be approved by the emperor. Court games, marriages between aristocratic families, border wars... Can they hold on to the first ray of voice in the whirlpool of power and intrigue? Intention: Break through the shackles and stick to your heart
