Description:
During the Wanli and Tianqi reigns of the Ming dynasty, Japanese pirates ran rampant, eunuchs monopolized power, and the common people were plunged into misery. In the martial world appeared a "goddess constable, Thirteen woman" — at the head of a band of fighters, she captured great thieves, punished the wicked, investigated mysterious cases, and redressed injustices, cracking one bewildering, earth-shaking case after another and composing one moving legend after another. She, Thirteen woman, daughter of a famous constable, beautiful and loyal, skilled in the arts of pursuit and tracking, her long whip soaring like a dragon; he, Wang Da-You, the peerless thief king renowned throughout the land, lazy and shameless yet warm-hearted, with unmatched lightness skill and a disguise art that could… Show more change heaven and earth; she, Song Jun-Yu, daughter of a famous physician, beautiful and delicate, intelligent and refined, with profound learning and superb medical skill; he, Di Wu-Xie, the first divine constable of the Censorate, hot-hearted yet cold-eyed, with a fan-sword unmatched in the world, often holding up the sky alone at the critical moment... A jade Buddha palm of priceless value smuggled in from Japan gives rise to a shocking murder case. The assassin Feng Bai-Chuan, under orders from pirates, plans to assassinate the famous general Marshal Li during the imperial heaven-worship ceremony. How will Thirteen woman, together with Di Wu-Xie, Wang Da-You, and the divine physician's daughter Song Jun-Yu, stop this murder and turn back the raging tide... A poor scholar impersonated a county magistrate for several years, only because it was a small county where heaven was high and the emperor far away. A strange case suddenly breaks out: a hard-of-hearing man hears the victim's scream, a night-blind man sees someone fleeing over the wall, and a lame man escapes the constables. Thirteen woman and the others, seeking the truth, fall into prison, and the ones who rescue them turn out to be... At court, loyalists and villains contend. The Minister of War seeks to collude with Japanese pirates to destroy loyal officials, his sinister scheme flawless. Minister of War Xiao Da-Heng, Eunuch Wang of the Directorate of Ceremonial, Left Censor-in-Chief Wei Yun-Zhen, and Left Vice Minister of War Zhu Ren — who is loyal and who is treacherous? Di Wu-Xie, willing to deceive Thirteen woman and bear the infamy, stages a grand undercover performance. An old vendetta for a father's murder, a long road of revenge, a bizarre case of serial killings, a weak woman's counterattack against the darkness. When Thirteen woman peels back layer after layer and uncovers the truth, the weak woman Ye Zi-Qing perishes together with her enemies in a thunderous roar.
