Amid the sticky air of Jiangnan's plum rains and the blood-red stains seeping from an auction house's antique paintings, a battle of the senses and the soul quietly unfolds. Shen Yifeng and his companions navigate the intricate traps woven by the "Shadow Gallery," from eerie melodies echoing through the secret realms of the southwest to distorted, kaleidoscopic illusions in the urban prism. This is more than a chase between justice and evil. Again and again, they step to the brink of an abyss built from the aesthetics of madness, striving at the boundary between science and the occult to pierce the arrogant veil that sees humanity as "pigment" and "canvas."
Friends thinking of reading this book should read The Faded Apocalypse first. It is the first book. Read this book after The Faded Apocalypse; this is the second book.
