    Yusheng Residence in the Xiling Marquis's mansion was known as the mansion's cold palace, where only the mistress and her servant lived in the vast courtyard. That night, the wind and rain were bleak. The maid, Ahu, was awakened by the cold wind blowing in through the window. Looking up sleepily, she saw a black figure scaling the wall and disappearing. Ahu instantly woke up, jumped up, and rushed to the inner room without even putting on her shoes. When she saw the scene on the bed, she screamed. The Marquis's wife, Li Rong'an, had a dagger plunged straight into her heart, and her snow-white dress was now stained crimson. "Miss!" Ahu rushed to the bedside, her face filled with terror and pain, at a loss for what to do but not daring to move her even slightly. The next second, she dashed out again, running barefoot through the rain, shouting, "Help! Help! There's an assassin! Madam is injured! Quick, get a doctor!" Her cries for help were desperate, but there was no response. She rushed to the courtyard gate and pushed hard, only to find it unmoving, as if locked from the outside. Undeterred, she pounded on it, only to be met with utter silence except for the sound of the rain. The entire manor, with its hundreds of inhabitants, was now collectively silent. Yusheng Residence in the heavy rain seemed like an isolated island, utterly helpless. Ah Hu suddenly understood who had ordered the assassin; her face, soaked by the rain...

    This is a good book. Although the female lead doesn't have superhuman martial arts skills, she's very good at solving cases. She also has several powerful ghost fortune tellers who help her, and several subordinates (who are also partners) who help each other. It's finished, and the departure of the Ghost Master and his companions in the ending was a bit of a shame. I finished reading this a while ago, but I've forgotten a lot of the plot. I recommend it to everyone who's experiencing a reading slump. Hope you like it! [Laughs]
