The Yongle Case

A thrilling and captivating book reading challenge!

The mistake was made from the start: Zhu Di was a follower of Taoism. Why would he get so excited upon seeing a Four-Faced Buddha? He doesn't even know basic common sense, yet he's writing a book?

Seeing this, the same principle applies to other dynasties as well. In order to avoid excessive upheaval in the court and to satisfy the people, it's really best not to delve too deeply into the matter.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards were the Ming Emperor's personal servants; who wasn't afraid to punish them, and who dared to stop them?

Seeing this, the supervisors should have had the excess grain disposed of so that it could be kept by certain individuals.

It's exceptionally good, with a tight and exciting plot, consistent logic, numerous suspenseful moments, and well-developed characters.

This is so well-written! The plot is so captivating. If it were made into a TV series, it would definitely be a huge hit. I really hope it gets made into a TV series; this is the only book I've ever heard of that I wish would be adapted into a TV series! Thank you, author.

Full of twists and turns, layer upon layer, I'm really looking forward to it! I love this kind of historical drama adapted into a novel! Highly recommended.

Despite numerous typos, some plot flaws, and a few forced logical deductions, this novel is generally highly readable. Compared to the many high-scoring but intellectually deficient reads on QiMiao, this book is a masterpiece. It's not a wish-fulfillment story, but its gradual unfolding and progressive suspense make it very engaging. This is the best novel I've read on QiMiao so far, bar none. Compared to this book, most historical or alternate history novels on the rankings are rubbish—a world of difference.

The writing is decent, but the pacing is too controlled, and the atmosphere is too oppressive, making it mentally exhausting to read.
