The Ever-Burning Lamp: The Case of Ashes and Jade

share time: 2025-12-10 00:35:11

Su Wantang, daughter of a wrongfully convicted official, disguises herself as a minor clerk to clear her father’s name and infiltrates the Dali Temple (the imperial judicial office). There, she accidentally tangles with Gu Zhaoyuan—the cold-faced junior minister known for “solving cases like a god but bringing misfortune to wives.” Using her shoddy detective skills, she uncovers the link between the “Ashes and Jade Case” and the royal ever-burning lamp, only to discover Gu Zhaoyuan’s shocking identity: the exiled orphan of the former crown prince. From mutual scheming to joining hands to overturn the case, when the secret letter in the ever-burning lamp reveals the truth, Su Wantang realizes: Gu Zhaoyuan’s “coldness” was all to protect her from the imperial power struggle, and her “boldness” is exactly the brightest light in his dark life.
