A modern suspense mystery novelist wakes up and travels into his unfinished ancient novel. It's just that he didn't become the all-powerful male protagonist, but instead became the cannon fodder prince who drowned "accidentally" at the beginning of the book.
There are many doubts about the death of the original owner, the loyal servants around him have twinkling eyes, the seemingly distant fiancée has hidden agendas, and even the seemingly loving elders are weird. What shocked him even more was that several "accidents" that were originally mentioned in the book were all inextricably linked to the death of the original owner.
Despite his status as cannon fodder, he began to peel off the cocoon with the help of modern reasoning thinking. From the blood-stained jade pendant to the mechanisms in the secret room, from the dark shadows in the night to the flaws in the files, every step is taken on the edge of a knife. On the way, he met a cold female doctor with a mysterious identity in the book who appeared at the scene of the crime many times. She seems to know a lot of secrets, but she is always on guard against him.
As the investigation deepens, Shen Jinghan discovers that the death of the original owner is just the tip of the iceberg. Behind it involves court secrets, old cases, and even traces of time travellers. The people around you are not as simple as they appear. It is difficult to distinguish between friends and foes, and murderous intentions are everywhere. He must save his own life before solving all the mysteries, and at the same time deal with the increasingly complicated feelings between him and the female doctor. This journey through the book has finally become a thrilling suspense game.
