They say I’m a first-rate digital forensic investigator who can make electronic ghosts talk.
In Fengdu, a cyberpunk metropolis where neon bleeds like blood and data flows like a river, Su Ran is an industry legend. But no one knows that she is the last nine-tailed fox, and that she tracks down criminals by “tasting” the lingering traces of data. It’s an instinct of her demonic kind.
When a top tech mogul dies mysteriously inside a secure “spirit realm pod,” all that remains at the scene is a wisp of ancient fragrance and a chant summoning the dead. Su Ran is forced into a conspiracy spanning the worlds of humans, demons, and AI. As she hunts the real culprit, she must also resist the counter-corruption rising from the depths of the data sea, and make a final choice between her demonic nature, her feigned human emotions, and the cold rules of the digital world.
