Out of Tune
荒腔走板 · 风歌且行
A murder case in the provinces. A stoic capital magistrate. And the 'local helper' who keeps touching his hands and flirting mid-investigation — every word a lie, and he's starting to know it.
Near year's end, a court official's murder shocks the capital. Lu Zhuoguang rides out with the Justice Ministry and meets Zhou Xing, the county magistrate's suggestion for an 'assistant': shameless, slippery, shamelessly flirtatious — and the sharpest mind in the province. A dual-POV court-intrigue mystery where both leads are performing and the case keeps getting closer to the throne.
