The Tang Dynasty's Lady Detective

On the eve of the female emperor’s coronation in the first year of the Tianshou era, Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, was rife with turmoil and hidden currents. A seemingly ordinary martial-world massacre set the stage for upheaval across the land.

While investigating the case, Shen Lingjun, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, crossed paths with Su Muzhe, the world’s greatest swordsman; Ye Qingzhi, a peerless physician; Zhao Qi, the Tang dynasty’s youngest general; and others.

From then on, the group embarked on one mysterious and perilous investigation after another.

The revenge of the old retainers of the Li Tang dynasty, and the entanglements between their parents’ generation. One bizarre case after another awaits them, but behind these cases there seems to be an even greater conspiracy.
