The Seditious Web

When seventeen-year-old Lin Yi stumbles into a dark web forum, he witnesses a ritual execution styled after the Tang Dynasty “He Ayong Seditious Speech Case.” Branded a “yao yan” speaker by a global network of assassins who claim to enforce a forgotten justice, he is forced into the grey zone where the law cannot reach and nameless ghosts demand retribution. To survive, Lin Yi must erase his identity, uncover a centuries-old conspiracy, and step into a life rewritten from scratch.
