Bone China Record

In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, something strange happened late at night at Baoguangtang, the largest porcelain kiln in Jingdezhen. The kiln worker found a woman's face at the bottom of a bone china bowl that had just come out of the kiln. Her eyebrows and eyebrows were exactly the same as Su Wanqing, the young boss's fiancée who disappeared three years ago. The new detective Shen Yanqiu was ordered to investigate, but found an even more shocking secret in the secret room of Baoguang Hall: eighteen sealed bone china bottles, with different faces looming on each bottle, and the names engraved on the bottom of the bottles were all women who had disappeared inexplicably in Jingdezhen in the past ten years. As the investigation deepens, Shen Yanqiu discovers that Su Wanqing's disappearance is related to Baoguangtang's secret "shadow celadon" - this kind of porcelain needs to be glazed with bone powder of living people, and the soul of the deceased must be attached to the porcelain when firing the kiln to reflect the "shadow". Now that the kiln fire has rekindled, the ghosts of the missing have begun to appear through the porcelain: the blood beads oozing from the gold-painted porcelain plate, the sudden changes in the landscape on the blue and white vase, the sobs coming from the pastel porcelain pillow... Shen Yanqiu must uncover the bloody truth in the bone china before the next round of kiln fire is lit, otherwise, he will be the next one to be sealed in the porcelain.
