During the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the new emperor ascended the throne and the world was at peace. However, Meng Changhe, a carpenter in Jiangning City, always encountered strange and strange things. In the first year of Xining, he and Li Qiutan, the general judge of Jiangning, worked together to solve the murder case of the gardener Chaucer and the Jin family's floating coffin case. Then, as if fate called, he left Jiangning and went to Bianjing. When he left Jiangning, he did not expect that so many unusual people would appear in his life. He took in a little snake demon that was exposed to the sun, made friends with the secret guards of the Imperial City, reunited with old friends in Guifan Tower, and even met the supreme emperor of the Nine-Five-Year Plan. And before all the stories began, Chang He had a difficult life. He had a weak relationship with his relatives and was not tolerated by his surroundings since he was a child. All because he could see things that others could not... Peony flowers actually grew on the stone pillars? A coffin floated in the depths of the river, a porcelain pillow weeping blood, a woman with bird claws, a monk traveling from afar, the monster inn in Bianjing City, the mischievous dragon man... After all this, Changhe finally remembered his past. Twelve confusing stories, about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, treachery and evil, the laws of nature are clear, and good and evil are clear.
