The Living Bodhisattva Sets Traps Daily

Fifteen years ago, the Su family was massacred, and a secret scroll hid a monstrous conspiracy. Su Yanzhi hides his edge on the barren grass slope of Jizhou, offering free medical consultations and disguising himself as a benevolent living bodhisattva. He coughs blood from a chronic illness, secretly weaving his net for fifteen years, using medicine and poison as blades to take the lives of his enemies one by one. Traveling doctor Liu Tinglan arrives at the slope with a rope dart, skilled in medicine and poison, bearing old scars, stepping into Jizhou to investigate the Su family tragedy. In the courtroom, Su Yanzhi is brought for trial; he presents no account books, only a broken bowl with a chipped corner: "The cracks at the bottom of the bowl hide the entire truth." Liu Tinglan operates in the open, examining medicines and verifying poisons, seeking justice; Su Yanzhi operates in the shadows, moving chess pieces and settling blood feuds. Old rice accounts, secret seals of the Imperial Medical Academy, and hidden affairs of the official granary are layer by layer revealed. Both are versed in medical principles, yet their beliefs conflict, standing on opposite ends of the chessboard. No romantic entanglements, only a high-stakes intellectual contest between top physicians. [No romance / hardcore power struggles / ensemble detective work / duel of strengths] Everyone believes this is a dead end where a revenger demands the lives of corrupt officials. When the final move is made, all are shocked to realize: Everyone, from the very beginning, had miscalculated the most important thing. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Living Bodhisattva Sets Traps Daily — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
