Lin Zhao discovered a secret in the ancient book restoration room - those moth-eaten thread-bound books contained sentences deleted by the poet before his death. Li Shangyin did not die in depression. He hid a blood letter in the interlayer of "Untitled"; the truth about Li Qingzhao's remarriage was tampered with by the book engraver of the Ming Dynasty; and when Su Shi was exiled in Hainan, he carved the lower half of the sentence on a coconut shell that has never been handed down.
Every book is a crime scene.
Lin Zhaoneng could see the remaining obsessions between the pages: Wang Wei's landscape poems contained the obliterated war smoke, Du Mu's Yangzhou dream concealed a murder case, and Xin Qiji's drunken reading of swordsmanship by the light of the lamp revealed not the Northern Expedition but the truth of a rainy night. Those sentences that have been lightly carried by commentators of all ages are the codes that poets have spent their whole lives trying to convey.
When Lin Zhao tried to restore these deleted poems, she discovered that someone had been guarding this secret - a mysterious bibliophile who called himself the "Poetry Ghost". Since the Song Dynasty, he had been waiting for someone who could understand the truth.
And those sentences that have been covered up for thousands of years, once exposed to the light, will rewrite the entire history of literature.
Purpose: Poetic novel
