The Fragile Chronicle

Twenty years ago, a brutal demolition in a small city left a family dead and the truth buried. The only survivor, now a returning real estate tycoon, discovers that the peace everyone clings to is a fragile balance built on silence, fear, and a hidden “Ming chronicle” that holds the key to the massacre. As he digs deeper, the past echoes the literary inquisitions of the Qing Dynasty—where a single forbidden text could annihilate an entire clan. To rewrite his own fate, he must shatter the deadly equilibrium and confront the powerful Zhuang family before history repeats.
