The Tang Palace Mystery: The Blood-Jade Bracer

The original novel behind the TV series Tang Palace Case: The Cry of the Green Mist, starring Bai Lu and Wang Xingyue!

In the ninth year of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan era, the eldest daughter of former Crown Prince Li Jiancheng is found hanged at her own wedding. Was it suicide or murder? The circumstances are unclear. Four people join forces to investigate: Li Yuan's youngest son, the daughter of Chancellor Wei Zheng, and two aristocratic young men who both call Emperor Li Shimin "Uncle." The suspects include none other than Empress Zhangsun and Crown Prince Li Chengqian. As the investigation deepens, one bloody secret after another from within the palace is revealed, each closely connected to the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Meanwhile, Tang forces are fighting the Tuyuhun, and people from every faction are drawn into the vortex. Beneath the calm surface of the capital, Chang'an, currents are stirring. The Great Tang, not yet twenty years old, faces a test of life and death.
