He hid at the bottom of the well for three days. When he came up, his home was gone.
Liu Yu did not kill him, but only said one sentence: If you want revenge, stay alive. Then he spent ten years in prison and more than 3,000 carvings, carving that name into his bones. On the day he was released from prison, Liu Yu asked him to investigate a case, and there was a woman who didn't like to talk around him. The bronze compass in her hand would turn on its own and vibrate crazily above the weird handprint on the corpse's chest.
The deeper he investigated the case, the more he found that he couldn't see through it - what was Liu Yu waiting for? What secret is that woman hiding? Why is every corpse related to his ancestor who has been dead for many years?
There is still a power within him that he cannot control. Every time that stuff comes out, it takes something with it. Sometimes it's fate, sometimes it's his understanding of himself.
Someone is watching all this from the dark. Someone is playing a big game of chess.
He thought he was a chess player. It was later discovered that he didn't even see clearly what he was.
Beautiful, very unique writing style
