Strange Cases of the Great Ming

In the forty-fifth year of the Wanli reign, a Korean tribute envoy arrived at the Huaiyuan Guesthouse. A shocking incident took place in a sealed room at midnight.

Su Chengyu, son of the Deputy Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, helped investigate the case, but the fog was only beginning to gather.

In the capital, people began dying mysteriously on their way home. Then came a family massacre, a wrongful conviction from an old case, and a series of strange cases in both the north and south.

Amid the mysteries of the Great Ming, Su Chengyu investigates schemes, unravels enigmas, and glimpses the human hearts behind the crimes.
