When Lin Shuying, a female student at an academy, investigates the truth behind her senior schoolmate’s disappearance, she is drawn into a Gu-sorcery conspiracy spanning three hundred years. Together with Gu Xizhou, an official of the Ministry of Justice, and the mysterious prince Xiao Jingxing, she must unravel the mystery of the “Twin Gu Mothers” before the Seven Stars align and stop a plan to resurrect the dead and achieve immortality by sacrificing bloodlines.
This is more than a story of Gu sorcery and conspiracy. It is also a profound exploration of how we choose our own lives when we bear the burden of original sin. If you enjoy the thrill of solving puzzles, the wonder of a fantastical world, and authentic portrayals of human struggle, this work will take you on an unforgettable journey.
