Ten years ago, 30,000 soldiers in Dingyuan City died on a snowy night.
Ten years later, the ink on the general's final blood letter has not yet dried.
Shen Qi is the most inconspicuous book repairman in the ghost market of the capital.
She could hear the writings of the dead speak - the moment her fingertips touched the ink marks, the heartbeat, fear and despair of the writer before his death would swallow her up like a tide.
This forbidden technique is called "Ink Ink".
The price is that every time she writes a last letter, her five senses will be deprived of one point.
Gu Yanqing, the young minister of Dali Temple, approached her.
He took out a letter. The ink on the letter had not dried for ten years and turned into blood when exposed to the weather - it was the suicide note of General Zhou Mian of Dingyuan. The court said that he committed suicide out of fear of crime, but what Shen Qi saw after reading the ink was a lonely city guard who had been deprived of food, betrayed, and wrote letters with his frozen fingers and blood on a snowy night of -40 degrees below zero.
He is waiting.
Waiting for someone who can understand the truth.
Gu Yanqing said: Fix it and spare your life.
What Chen Qi didn't know was that the man known as "King of Hell" would have a splitting headache when he saw any official document - only a suicide note from a dead person could give him a moment of peace.
She didn't even know that her father and his father died in the same fire twenty years ago.
What truth was buried in the "Jiashen Book Burning Case" that burned half of the Imperial Academy and burned countless historical books?
She is his eyes and he is her knife.
Two drowning men have to dig out the darkest secret of a dynasty from a pile of lies.
