Republican-Era Detective: Trapped in a World Inside a Painting from the Start

Shen Mo, a detective in the Republican era, discovers that he is trapped in a world inside a painting, waking up to repeat the same day each time. When he sees the strangely dressed modern woman appear for the third time, he finally finds a clue that might help him break the cycle.

The two cross the boundaries of time and space: one hopes to escape the fate of endless reincarnation, the other to save a beloved family member’s posthumous work. Together, they become entangled in a century-spanning conspiracy involving the art of ink. As the painted world teeters on the brink of collapse and reality faces disaster, only uncovering the Lin family’s secrets can stop both worlds from falling apart.
