On a freezing rainy night in Bingzhou, Zhou Yuan died in his study. Before he died, he wrote only half of a word - "Di".
Sixteen-year-old Di Renjie pushed open the door. My grandfather investigated the same case thirty years ago and left a message: "Mercury can beautify the face, but it can also take away the soul. Don't investigate." He investigated.
There are bones hidden in the dry well of the City God's Temple, and old cases are piled deep in the abandoned mines. Someone took the face of a living person and put it on another person's face. Some people live as others, kill people with masks, and exchange a face for a life.
Su Zhi was the one who conducted the autopsy. While she was helping to search for clues, she was also looking for traces left behind after her sister disappeared. The person following behind him silently is Li Yuanfang. His father lost his life due to investigating the case. He waited for ten years just to know the truth. There is also a faceless informant in the palace named Shangguan Wan'er, who delivers news to Di Renjie through notes tucked into the pages of a book. Three people followed him, each with an unfinished road.
Di Renjie pursued the case all the way and found that he was not solving the case - he was solving mysteries for others. My grandfather left three words: "Go to Chang'an."
He walked into the night of Chang'an with an old case, a blurred bronze mirror and three people.
"Some people say this yard is haunted." Di Chun squatted on the threshold. "Ghosts can't live in a broken yard." Di Renjie said, "This is where people live. People are more difficult to deal with than ghosts."
