[Fictional Ancient Setting × Episodic Mysteries × Ensemble Cast with No Romance]
A blood-soaked wedding dress hangs in the alley behind the county office. The missing bride is nowhere to be found, yet a dead maid dressed in a paper wedding gown appears in an abandoned wedding hall.
Shen Zhiwei, a cook beside the county office, can't examine corpses or fight, but she can spot clues others miss in a meal, a trace of scent, or a few snippets of local gossip.
A blood-soaked wedding dress, a poisoning at a birthday banquet, missing letters, old bones in a kiln, a dead man's salary...
Twelve unsolved cases lead north along the Tongji Canal, bringing her step by step back to the night the Shen family was massacred ten years ago.
There may be no ghosts in this world, but there are always people who use their names to conceal the wrongs done to the living.
