The Letter and the Lost Boat in Twelfth Night
by Lin Yufenga
About This Novel
After the twelfth bell rings at midnight, Jiang Shutong will always receive a kraft paper letter without a postmark. The letter was written on a gold-sprinkled letter from the Imperial Household in the Qing Dynasty. The handwriting was made of cinnabar mixed with bone powder. The content directly pointed to the life experience she was trying to bury: "The 100th generation descendant of the Jiang family, are you ready to repay the time you stole?" She originally wanted to ignore it, until one day when she was repairing the fragment of "Visiting a Boat on a Snowy Night" donated by the Lu family, blood oozed from an ink-colored boat in the painting. That night, Lu Xizhou, the leader, climbed over the high wall of the museum and put a blood-stained silver lock on her neck: "Why is your birthmark... Exactly the same as the one on the wrist of the woman in the painting?" An old case disguised as an accident, twelve "letters of guilt" spanning time and space, the radioactive element thallium hidden in ancient paints... The two were forced to tie together to solve the puzzle, but gradually discovered a deeper entanglement - he was every crack repaired by her writing, and she was every inch of the dream filled by his singing. The so-called curse is nothing more than the unspoken love between the female painter of the Jiang family and the Feng Shui master of the Lu family a hundred years ago, who risked their lives to protect each other in the tide of the times. "The letter is the labyrinth and you are the boat. Take me through the twelve nights and hold on to the last star rust before dawn."
