Yi Zhen Qing Yun
一枕清云
A noblewoman is found dead, her body mutilated, sparking rumors of a ghost in the capital. Emperor Shun demands the Ministry of Justice resolve the case within a month, with assistance from the Imperial Preceptor. Ye Qinghan, a high-ranking official in the ministry, is forced to collaborate with the Preceptor despite disliking his deceptive ways. As the investigation progresses, Ye Qinghan uncovers deeper links to the murder. Beyond the killer, he discovers a tragic injustice that destroyed a family of loyal officials and hints at a power struggle for the throne. He also notices a scarred face hidden beneath the Imperial Preceptor’s composed exterior, a detail he had admired for some time.
