The Bizarre Case: The Magistrate's Wife Is Always Trying to Run Away

Also known as The Grand Design: An Imperial Landscape. The continent of Wenfang is divided among four powers: Yin Shang, Xia, Great Zhou, and Northern Luo, all contending for supremacy and scheming against one another. The Wangyue City assassin organization looms over the four kingdoms like dense clouds blotting out the moon. Its very existence threatens to swallow the moonlight. When Wangyue once again reaches for Yin Shang, Yin Shang seeks a way to deal with it, casting out bait to lure the fish. Yun Feng and Qingting’s meeting is both ordained by fate and an inevitable result of the struggle between Yin Shang and Wangyue. They are opposites who complement one another, each strengthening the other. When they uncover the feud between Wangyue and the Yin Shang imperial family while tracking a series of cases, the paths before them begin to diverge. Sometimes Yun Feng thinks Qingting must be the greatest bane of his life; at other times, he feels she is Heaven’s gift to him. Qingting thinks Yun Feng is a jinx, and that trouble always follows whenever she’s with him. Yet his good manners and understanding of her make her heart flutter, and she can’t help wanting to draw closer. Dangerous things have a fatal allure. Reason always tells Qingting to flee when danger draws near, but Yun Feng always manages to pull her back. As their struggle with Wangyue unfolds, what fate awaits them both? And when it comes to staying alive, where will Qingting go from here...
