The twelfth year of Yongchang, Chang'an.
On the night of the Ghost Festival, five women were found skinned, their bodies hanging beneath the lanterns outside their own homes.
Beneath each corpse lay a bronze token engraved with the character “Ghost.”
According to local rumors, a city hidden from the sun lies beneath Chang'an: the Ghost Market.
It sells forbidden books, poisons, magical artifacts, and even living people.
No one knows who rules the Ghost Market. All they know is that few who enter ever make it out alive.
Shen Huai'an, an assistant minister at the Court of Judicial Review, does not believe in ghosts or gods. But following the clues on the tokens, he finds the entrance to the Ghost Market.
Beyond the door lies endless darkness and countless eyes watching from the shadows.
A scholar and a fighter are forced to join forces.
One is physically frail but can see through every lie.
The other can take on a hundred opponents, but cannot read and has no sense of direction.
They must face thirty-six bizarre cases and a shocking conspiracy that engulfs the entire city of Chang'an.
Seventy-two twists, each one making you question whether you guessed the culprit wrong.
Just when you think you've seen through every deception, you discover that you too are part of the game.
