The Detective Is a Spirit Puppet

* Two strong leads, with a powerful male lead and an even more formidable heroine. Both are virgins, 1v1.

Jinsi is a "good-for-nothing," not even as capable as an ordinary commoner, yet without anyone knowing, she keeps the only "spirit puppet" in the world.

When the bamboo puppet touches blood, it gains a spirit and takes her back to before the crime. The dead are still alive, and the real killer is still at the scene!

From the massacre of the Liu family manor to the mystery of the missing investigators, she begins to glimpse truths beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In front of a strange bloodstain in an empty rear courtyard, Jinsi summons her spirit puppet.

In the vision of the past, she sees the renowned gentleman vault over the wall and calmly take the evidence.

His practiced movements leave not a trace of his usual refined propriety.

Jinsi: ?? This is the upright gentleman admired by every woman in the city and praised by the whole town?

On the outside, a refined scholar, handpicked by the elders. Inside, he must be riddled with woodworms, though no one knows it.

At their first meeting, she pins him against a stone wall and sniffs near his nose. "My lord, you smell like the sandalwood incense in there."

His expression doesn't change, but the tips of his ears quietly turn red.

At their second meeting, they are alone together in a dim room.

He pours tea himself, his expression calm. "Miss Jinsi, there is something suspicious about this case. Why don't we... work together?"

Her fingertip skims a streak of blood on the rim of the cup. Smiling, she asks, "My lord, how do you propose we help each other?"

At first glance, he seems to make the opening move in this game of chess, but she has long been controlling the whole board from the shadows.

Their supposed partnership is nothing more than a trap to lure the enemy in.

Just as the truth begins to come to light, a hidden weapon whistles through the air.

She is about to strike back when the man beside her raises his eyes, crushes it to dust with his bare hand, and says coolly, "They must have a death wish."

They are locked in an open and covert battle, which should be exhilarating, but Jinsi can't shake a creeping unease.

She has a feeling... the massacre at the Liu family manor is only the beginning of this conspiracy.

When strange cases involving a mad old woman, an extinct ancient clan, and more begin to occur one after another, she discovers that every clue points to an ancient name erased from history.

And its "puppet" is still alive in this world...
