Each volume centers on a case, and every case is entangled with family power struggles and the mysteries of the times. Someone offers a glimmer of light from the shadows. As the clues intertwine, so do unspoken understanding and hidden meaning.
In the winds of old Shanghai, truth and affection are both shrouded in mist. Peel back one layer, and even deeper entanglements await.
