Paper Puppet Record of Weird Things in the Ming Dynasty

In the winter of the 21st year of Jiajing, there was a heavy snowfall that had not happened in Beijing in ten years. In the East Nuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City, a palace maid died suddenly and mysteriously - her whole body turned into a wax figure, stiff as a doll, but with a weird smile on her lips. Shen Huan, a member of the Jinyiwei family, was ordered to investigate the case within a three-day deadline. A rusty Hongwu Tongbao and a bronze mirror with mantras engraved on its back lead to the "Renyin Palace Incident" that shocked the government and the public twenty years ago. Sixteen palace maids attempted regicide and were executed in Lingchi. Their blood splattered in the Forbidden City. The mastermind Su Qing cursed before her execution: "Even if you are a ghost, you will not let go of this cannibalistic place." Tonight, twenty years later, her resentful spirit has really returned. Mirrors can eat people, shadows can kill people, and what is burning in the alchemy furnace deep in the Forbidden City is immortality - or human life? When Shen Huan finally revealed the truth, he found that he had already been "seen". There is a face in the water, someone in the mirror, and the shadow points to the depths of the Forbidden City—— You saw it. The next one is you.
