The Zhao family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. On the surface, poetry and etiquette are passed down to the family, but underneath there is an undercurrent. Zhao Mohan, an illegitimate son who was regarded as a shame by his family, grew up in a woodshed and suffered all kinds of looks and bullying. When my grandfather was seriously ill, various members of the family fought overtly and covertly for power, and everyone wanted to trample him into the mud.
In an accident, Zhao Mohan accidentally entered his grandfather's secret room and accidentally touched a seemingly ordinary copper lock. What popped out of the lock was actually the "soul clairvoyance" inherited from the masters of Western metaphysics. From then on, he could see the obsessions, fears and desires in people's hearts. Behind every seemingly harmless smile lies a deadly secret.
His grandfather was mysteriously poisoned, and the murderer was hidden in the clan; his father, who had been missing for many years, suddenly appeared and brought a Western mysterious weapon; clan elders died one after another, and the clues pointed to a murder case a hundred years ago... Zhao Mohan accidentally got involved in the mystery again and again, and relied on the "soul clairvoyance" to make a comeback.
But when he uncovered the last layer of the mystery, he discovered that he was the one who had been set up. The person who set up the situation was his mother, whom he thought was dead long ago.
