Record of the Broken Case: Wanli Snow Knife

In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, the emperor neglected his government and the party fought fiercely. A bizarre case of "Burning Officials by Heavenly Fire" involved Li Yanzhou, the hereditary Marquis of Linhuai and the governor of Jinyiwei North Town, into the whirlpool. The deceased was Dong Lin Qingliu, who fiercely opposed the mining tax, but in the ashes was a secret letter pointing to the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party. Li Yanzhou was investigating the case under a secret order, and was walking on thin ice in the conflict between Qingliu and the real power faction. He met Xu Yanci, the duke's legitimate daughter. Under her elegant and calm appearance, she hid a sharp eye that could see into people's hearts and accounts. From the "Sky Fire Case" to the "Gunpowder Case" and the "Copper Coin Case", until the "Imperial Examination Fraud Case" that shook the country, the mastermind behind the scenes was actually connected to the secrets of the beloved concubine, the eunuch, and the death of his late wife. Li Yanzhou held the Xiuchun Dao in his hand, peeling off the cocoons amid the bloodshed of the imperial edicts and the verbal conflicts in the court. Xu Yanci used his pen as a blade to help him break the situation silently. When the truth touches the taboos of imperial power, he must make a choice between loyalty to the emperor and justice in his heart, and she becomes the only warm light and armor that he dares to embrace in his cold world.
