On New Year's Eve, Chen Zheng gets caught up in a case involving a headless woman's corpse, which draws him into a series of eerie, fantastical dreamscapes. All of it is connected to Hua Xu, the proprietress of the Happy Little Tavern. This mysterious hole-in-the-wall restaurant hides all kinds of strange secrets. Even Chen Zheng's adoptive mother, Auntie Pang, has more to her than meets the eye. Is Zhuang Zhou's dream of the butterfly just a fleeting illusion, or does it reflect the darkness within Chen Zheng that he cannot face? With the help of Captain Liu, Li Dazui, Zhang Li, and the others, Chen Zheng not only uncovers the mystery of his own origins, but also discovers that Cao Sh Shui, the quiet, gentle tea server at the police station, is actually Hua Xu, the proprietress of the Happy Little Tavern. Face the darkness within yourself. Don't skulk through the shadows. The truth is, you're a bad person.
The atmosphere at the beginning is good, making people feel that this place is not simple. When characters appear later, I really want to know what happened here? Make readers full of curiosity about people and things. Seeing that now I am curious about the identity of the protagonist and the people around him. I prefer this type of novel, thank you for my humble opinion.
