In 1932, undercurrents surged in the Shanghai Concession. Private detective Xu Mozi has the special ability to build a "Thinking Palace" and can recreate the crime scene in his mind. However, when a mysterious woman in red comes to his door with a blood-stained diorama fragment, he finds himself involved in a shocking conspiracy about memory manipulation.
As the investigation deepened, Xu Mozi discovered that his life experience was closely related to a mysterious organization called "Black Chan". With the assistance of Alyssa, a female police detective in the American concession, and her assistant Shen Hui, he shuttled between bloody romance, steampunk and cyber technology.
From the ghost arms case in Xiafei Road Apartment to the bloody fentanyl case in Paramount; from the gear corpse case under Big Ben to the memory cleaning case at the General Chamber of Commerce... Each case is a key that opens the labyrinth of Xu Mozi's tampered memory. And when he finally touches the truth, he discovers that his most terrifying enemy may be himself in the mirror.
