An ancient suspenseful detective story with a female protagonist and a unit drama structure. It is estimated to have 500,000-600,000 words.
The century-old incense shop of the Shen family was falsely accused of "poisoning incense to kill people", and everyone was imprisoned. The 18-year-old daughter-in-law Shen Lingyi possesses the ultimate ability to identify fragrances and the family's secret technique of "controlling people with fragrances". She can identify in public that the poisonous fragrance is not made by the Shen family, and uses the "soft tendon fragrance" to subdue the officials to gain three days for herself to investigate the case.
Since then, as a perfumer, she has been involved in unresolved cases related to spices - smuggling and silence, secret room murders, serial poisoning, and cold case re-investigations. Every time a case is solved, the conspiracy behind it emerges. The "Hundred Fragrances", which has been guarded by the Shen family for generations, records the forbidden incense recipe "soul-inducing incense" that can cause loss of consciousness. For this reason, someone set up a trap to destroy the family. The clues extend from the local area to the court, and the truth points to the current prime minister. In the end, incense is used to make incense, and there is a duel in front of the emperor.
The male protagonist is a secret agent of the Department of Incense, and his mother is a victim of soul-inducing incense. Tracking down the banned incense is both a mission and a personal vendetta. The CP line serves the main line, not the love brain.
