[A partnership of equals, deduction, no significant romance, focused on solving cases] In the Republican era, in these troubled times when even ghosts could lord it over others and right and wrong had been turned upside down, was there really any law?
The sixth young master of the Chao family, backed by three powerful clans, could throw his weight around the entire commercial port. After years studying abroad, he returned with no ambition other than investigating cases and solving mysteries. As a firm materialist who had received years of progressive education, he had finally met his match: this humble paper effigy craftsman had extraordinary skill and was shrouded in mystery!
They say he can make paper figures communicate with spirits?
Nonsense. I absolutely don’t believe it! I don’t... do I?
I started reading "Thousand Faces" and was about halfway through that one, but I've already caught up with this one. I was so touched to find a new chapter updated today! [Wiping tears] I usually avoid stories set in the Republican era, but the author writes it so well. The characters aren't stupid, and the author doesn't treat the reader like an idiot.
It's beautiful, I hope many people can see it. Wow, is there an update coming? I hope the ending isn't too rushed; the other book ended too quickly.
Excellent writing, gripping plot, highly recommended! 👍👍👍
