Volume 307 of the Dali Temple Archives "The Strange Case of Yuanyang Zuilou" Mottled Notes: In Mengqiu of the Gengwu Year, the proprietress of Yuanyang Zuilou died suddenly, and the blood hole in her throat suddenly became ulcerated. On the night of the crime, there were different stories about the fox girl in white, but the drinkers' descriptions were all the same. Strange events made the dusk in Chang'an even more muddy. Yin Huai, an obsessive young official in Dali Temple, stood in the ruins of Zuilou holding this volume full of mist. In the twilight, the tiny red petals of Manzhu Shahua emerged from the cracks in the wall, and as the red petals trembled, a girlish voice sounded out: "Sir, do you really want to investigate this... Human-vulnerable case?" From then on, Yin Huai stepped into this chaos. He visited the market and caught the wind in the hesitant words of the drinkers; he inspected the ruined buildings and caught the shadows in the mottled marks on the beams and columns. The secretive eyes of the old man in Zuilou, the legend of the fox demon spread among the people, and the obscure secrets hidden in the festering Manzhu Shahua all entangled the clues in the investigation like vines, and entangled Yin Huai in his search for the truth. As he peeled off the cocoon, Yin Huai discovered that the death of the boss's wife was not only implicated in the rumors, but also the legacy of the previous dynasty and the undercurrent of powerful people. As he gradually gets closer to the core, the true appearance of the fox girl in white is looming. Is it an evil spirit that brings disaster to the world, or is she an innocent soul who has been wronged? The aroma of wine in the drunken building, the color of Manzhushahua, and the strangeness of people's hearts are intertwined in the night of Chang'an, waiting for Yin Huai to uncover a shocking mystery that spans life and death and entangles humans and foxes.
