Imperial Watchmen of the Kangxi and Qianlong Reigns

The Kangxi Emperor: even in his twilight years, his authority remained undiminished. Nine princes vie for the throne, while Prince Yong watches like a tiger poised to pounce. The Yongzheng era: thirteen years of internal strife and external threats. The imperial family shows no mercy as an iron-fisted emperor restores order at court. The passionate Hongli, still young, combines a chivalrous spirit with a tender heart. A transmigrated detective solves one strange case after another across three reigns. In an incident of transmigration that few people believed in, the protagonist arrives in the Qing dynasty. Drawing on his past-life experience as a criminal investigation squad leader, he investigates cases in the Qing, relying on the “time-stopping” ability granted to him by a bronze cauldron and his foreknowledge of history. He rises from an obscure constable of the lowest ninth rank to the man closest to the throne, playing the nobles against one another, battling treacherous officials, solving baffling cases, climbing the ranks, winning the hearts of beautiful women, and befriending heroes. He builds his fortune by solving cases and makes his mark in the prosperous eras of Kangxi and Qianlong.
