In Shanghai in 1925, Shen Lingwei's 18th birthday party was a watershed in her life.
Her father wants to marry her to Lu Shiyan, a young marshal who is rumored to be bloodthirsty and ruthless. When she touches the jade bracelet that is her mother's relic, she unexpectedly falls into a fantasy world where her mother is pushed down the stairs, and awakens her spiritual vision ability to see "phantom souls".
"My mother was killed!" She lost control in public, but attracted Lu Shiyan's attention. This man came to the door with a murderous aura, and there was an undercurrent in his eyes that she couldn't understand: "Since Miss Shen can see things that ordinary people can't see, why not marry me, and I will help you find out the truth, and you can help me dissolve the 'thing' in my body."
From then on, she was forced to be involved in a whirlpool intertwined with fantasy mysteries, family conspiracies, and crises for her country and her country. From the seaside in Shanghai to her old house in Peking, she used her spiritual vision to solve kidnapping cases and find treasures from her past, but she also became a thorn in the side of Japanese spies. Lu Shiyan always appeared when she was in danger. After a certain fierce battle, he grabbed her wrist and said in a hoarse but firm voice: "Shen Lingwei, even if the spirit in my body loses control, I will never hurt you in the slightest."
In troubled times, she uses her spirit as a blade, and he uses his military power as a shield. In the gap between illusion and reality, they protect the truth and each other.
Very nice, fantasy novel
