Book Synopsis
**Night of the Massacre**
The Lin Manor was suddenly attacked by men in black. Lin Yuanwai had sensed the impending danger and arranged for his twin sons to escape through a secret passage. The brothers, one skilled in literature and the other in martial arts, each took with them a jade pendant and a Martial Arts Manual.
Separated in Flight: During their escape, they were pursued relentlessly. To divert their pursuers, the elder brother, proficient in martial arts, bravely revealed himself, leading to a separation from his younger brother on that rainy night.
A Fortuitous Encounter: The younger brother, Lin Xiu Wen, was rescued by the renowned courtesan Liu Rumei, who turned out to be of noble birth. Liu Rumei was not only adept in Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting but also possessed remarkable martial arts skills.
The Mystery of Heritage: While recuperating at Liu Rumei's residence, Lin Xiu Wen discovered that the jade pendant left by his father concealed secrets that seemed to be connected to the imperial court.
Unraveling the Truth: As Lin Xiu Wen prepared for the Imperial Examination, he secretly investigated the Night of the Massacre and gradually uncovered a larger conspiracy lurking behind the events.
