Ghostly shadows roil through the mortal world, throwing yin and yang into chaos; hidden secrets lie beneath deep strokes of ink.
A bizarre injustice in an ancient painting startles the dead of night; blood rains down on Lin'an, and turmoil takes hold.
In the Great Yong dynasty, Lin'an is a prosperous city, a land of dazzling splendor. Yet a series of baffling, uncanny cases has cast it beneath a dark cloud. The painting Rivers and Mountains depicts a beautiful landscape, but hidden within its ink are traces of a mysterious treasure. The mountains and rivers change color, as if a great calamity is about to descend. The painting Feast in the Han Palace displays the splendor of the Han court, but beneath the fine robes, beautiful women, and exquisite delicacies lurks a bloody stench. The palace banquet seems more like a scene from hell. The Skeleton Play is eerie and uncanny, its dancing skeletons seemingly telling of a grievance no one knows about. Who is pulling the strings? The goddess in the Goddess Painting should symbolize mercy and good fortune, yet it conceals the tragic story of lovers who died together. All who gaze upon it feel a chill in their hearts...
Zhao Lingxiao, an upright, imposing young man with sharp brows and bright eyes, serves as an assistant minister at the Court of Judicial Review. He is guided by justice and seeks only the truth. Su Moyan, a refined and elegant painting and calligraphy scholar at the Imperial College, has devoted himself to the arts and can detect hidden clues in the finest strokes of ink. Bound together by one strange case after another, the two join forces and step into a maze of mysteries. The cases in Lin'an are bizarre, each more alarming than the last. On this perilous journey, Zhao Lingxiao and Su Moyan wield their courage and wit like blades, cutting through layers of darkness to bring clarity back to Lin'an and reveal the truth to the world. Follow them into this world of ancient mysteries and witness the shifting fortunes of Lin'an in the Great Yong dynasty, along with the good and evil in human nature.

Very beautiful. Come on. Come on.
Human nature is very complex. Some people hope that others will fall into the same quagmire as themselves, while some people hope to push others to the shore even though they are already in the quagmire. This is human nature. There are good and bad. The little beggar and the little dwarf have two completely different attitudes towards others.
