Strange Cases of Chang'an

In the first year of Tianshou, during the Wu Zhou Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang, the capital of gods, was undercurrent. Su Chang'an, the new number one scholar, was personally appointed as the chief registrar of Dali Temple by Empress Wu Zetian because he used the method of "Sun Shadow Testing" to expose an examination fraud case in public at the Qionglin Banquet. I thought I would have a smooth career, but I didn't want to step into the center of the most mysterious whirlpool in the divine capital. A bizarre case of "Suzaku Burning the Sky" burned the mansion of a ruthless official of the current dynasty, Lai Junchen, to ashes. In the ashes, hidden symbols of the "Abolition of the Crown Prince Case" 22 years ago emerged. During the investigation, Su Changan was forced to join forces with Xiao Moran, a bad guy who was known as a "monster". The two seemingly incompatible people became each other's only support in this treacherous chess game. As a series of unbelievable small cases occurred one after another, such as "Golden Cicada Escapes", "Puppet in Tears", "Water Ghost Seeking Life", "Earth Dragon Turns Over", etc., Su Changan discovered that each case was like a puzzle piece, ultimately pointing to a huge network - someone wanted to use the theory of ghosts and gods to shake the foundation of Wuzhou and subvert the entire world. When all the clues pointed to the "remnants of the year", Su Changan and Xiao Moran fell into a deeper fog. The truth seems to be buried in the earlier bloody past. They must find the only way to break the situation between "God's will" and "people's hearts". The theme of the book: exploring the complexity and subtlety of the "human heart" under the seemingly "will of God" of ghosts and gods. Everyone has their own position and obsession. The truth is often not black and white, but a secret hidden in the gray area that is not wanted to be known.
