There Are Mountains and Seas in the Inkstone

A strange case of a woman disguising herself as a man in the imperial examination revealed the tip of the iceberg of the empire's water transportation. Gu Wuqi, the daughter of the guilty minister, entered the court under her false name and was forced to stand in front of the judgment seat in the lobby of the Ministry of Etiquette due to a shocking policy statement. However, what awaits her is not only the crime of deceiving the emperor, but also a bloody web that stretches for seventeen years and swallows up two fathers. Late at night, under the Wenyuan Pavilion, the young bachelor Qin Guan pushed the dagger and the truth in front of her. The emperor on the dragon throne made a secret choice: to exchange for a noble future, or to embark on a dangerous path paved with bones? When her biological father's final writings, her adoptive father's map and the blood stains on the silver coin were gradually put together, she chose to pick up the pen and walk on the road that her fathers had not been able to complete in the name of the river patrol censor. Ink marks can be faked, but mountains and rivers cannot. This is a lonely journey about literature, morality and blood.
