A Speck of Cleanliness

In the rotting heart of the Eastern Han dynasty, a jaded investigator uncovers a pattern of noblewomen driven to suicide by a master manipulator. Colonel Director of Retainers Yang Qiu, long accustomed to the stench of power, finds his one remaining scruple ignited: a predator is using emotional control to shatter souls. To stop the eunuch Wang Fu, Yang Qiu must descend into a psychological abyss, knowing that his brand of heroism is not about saving the world, but about preserving a single clean spot inside himself amidst the filth.
