In the late autumn of 1947, a shocking scandal rocked Shanghai’s wealthy Su family: the second daughter, Su Mingyue, who had been cherished all her life, was brutally killed by her fiancé, Gu Nanfeng.
In the morgue, Su Huaijin, whose face was an exact copy of the dead woman’s, tore up an old newspaper. The yellowed pages of the Shen Bao bore a record of twin births that had been erased.
To uncover the truth behind her sister’s fall from a building, she dons a bloodstained jade bangle and becomes a mirror laced with poison, living in the cracks between a fated curse and her family’s schemes:
By day, she is the Su family’s bright and innocent darling, mixing the gardenia perfume Gu Nanfeng loves most with morphine;
By night, she becomes the secret lover of Huo Linzhou, a rising star in the shipping business, using her sister’s unfinished lethal perfume, Moonlight Sonata, to eat away at the dirtiest lies in the business world.
