The Lady Detective

Shen Mo is a genius detective, aloof and cold, who believes only in logic and evidence. In her world, there are no "coincidences," only tricks that have yet to be unraveled.

Tang Xiao is talkative, capable in a fight, and good with people. She is Shen Mo's only bridge to the outside world, always accommodating her and cleaning up her messes.

Seven cases, seven classic tricks.

Locked-room murder, a faceless corpse, murder by substitution, a snowbound mountain villa, a twin's deadly game, a headless corpse... Each case is like a carefully laid chess game, every move pointing toward the same unseen opponent.

When Shen Mo pierces through the layers of fog and discovers who is behind all the cases, she sees a face strikingly similar to her own.

A criminal psychologist, just as lonely and just as brilliant.

She orchestrated all of this without hatred or greed, for one reason alone:

She was bored.

"Shen Mo, let's play a game."

This is a battle of wits, and a conversation between two lonely souls.

The true answer has never been found only on the corpse.
