Snow Falls in the Capital: Chasing a Murderer Through the Jianghu

Blending suspense with xianxia elements, this novel centers on a high-stakes investigation that bridges the martial world and the imperial court. Shortly after his ascension, the Crown Prince is assassinated within the palace walls. His head has been removed, yet the crime scene is eerily pristine, devoid of blood or struggle. The only clue is a trace of frost left on the ground, an impossibility in the cool but snowless early autumn. Suspicion immediately falls upon Ouyang Xueluo, a notorious jianghu assassin known for taking his victims' heads and leaving behind only frost. His signature method matches the crime perfectly, yet doubts arise regarding how any outsider could infiltrate the imperial palace undetected. Could this be a setup by someone within the capital designed to frame a martial artist? As conflicting theories emerge and the case grows increasingly complex, uncovering the truth may require tracking down Ouyang Xueluo himself. Featuring two male leads who form a strictly professional alliance rather than a romantic one, this story follows a jianghu killer and an agent of the court as they navigate political intrigue and martial rivalries to solve the mystery.
