The Ancient Detective

In Nancheng, where the three realms intersect, paranormal cases abound. A living mummy drains every flower in the city. Buried beneath the blossoms is a maiden in ancient dress, who wants to send them to the Ninth Heaven and become a flower fairy. White pearls bless the kindhearted, while black pearls turn people into mutated catfish. How can the curse be broken? An entire child's skeleton is embedded inside a “living” doll called the Pearl in the Palm. Is it love, or obsession? Nangong Tian, an ancient god from the Ninth Heaven, joins the Special Investigations Division to hunt down criminals at breakneck speed. Those who commit evil end up as ingredients in the Nangong family's exotic cuisine.
