The Judge's Ledger: A Tale of Love and Revenge in Ancient China
kaiagao
In the glittering city of Lin'an, capital of the Southern Song Dynasty,
She was the most celebrated courtesan, her name whispered in silk-draped pavilions,
Until a divorce decree turned her into a public laughingstock.
Though she seemed resigned to her fall from grace,
Behind her painted screens and jade ornaments,
She quietly set her pieces on the board,
Weaving an intricate web to ensnare, one by one,
Those who had wronged her.
He was the dissolute and indulgent prince of the imperial family,
Yet at each murder scene in the lantern-lit streets,
He transformed into a merciless magistrate,
His keen eyes piercing through her perfect plan.
This time,
Will he be her prey, or her redemption?
When the perfect "killer" discovers she's been watched all along,
In this game of life and death beneath the shadows of pagodas,
Who writes the story? Who seals the fate?
"The Judge's Ledger: A Tale of Love and Revenge in Ancient China"
A buried tale from 12th century China awaits its final judgment.
