Xu Gui was a criminal investigation consultant in the real world. By accident, she transmigrated to a parallel world with a modern setting overrun by the supernatural, and found herself in the body of an unfortunate soul who had just died.
As soon as she arrived in this other world, she was drawn into a bizarre murder case in which a bloodstained knife vanished into thin air.
As the investigation deepened, she discovered that every murder concealed subtle clues that had been overlooked.
However, when the autopsy report in a locked-room murder revealed that the murder weapon was an ice pick that did not exist, the police accused her of making things up.
Xu Gui must contend not only with life-threatening attacks from terrifying spirits, but also with rival groups who wield supernatural powers, including cultists and other transmigrators, all competing for key clues and resources in the cases.
With help from the System, which assigns missions, analyzes information about spirits, and provides items, she struggles to investigate despite the odds.
But time is running out, murders keep occurring, and the number of victims continues to rise. If her identity as a transmigrator is exposed, other factions will hunt her down.
With the help of her companions, Xu Gui gradually adapts to and gains control over her supernatural powers. Yet every case she solves comes at the cost of immense physical and emotional trauma.
Can she uncover the killer’s carefully designed code of death, defeat the terrifying spirits and their human enemies, and keep her identity hidden despite the police’s suspicions and her adversaries’ interference? Will she become a legend in this other world? The answer remains unknown.
