Three years ago, every member of the team investigating a major case in Wuluo Ancient Village on the outskirts of the city died in the line of duty. All evidence from the scene was deliberately destroyed, case files were altered, and witnesses were silenced. The incident was ruled an “accident.”
Shen Yan, the heroine, was suspended from duty, but she never accepted the official conclusion. When she pieced together clues from the old case by chance, she met Lu Ci, who specializes in taboo cold cases.
Starting with scattered reports of eerie disappearances and bizarre deaths in forbidden zones, the two discovered that all these seemingly unrelated cases shared the same secret symbols and methods, and that they all pointed to the mysterious organization Guixu Society.
