Chang'an Night Contract

[Oriental weirdness + monster case suspense + heroine's growth] Twelve years ago, the court painter Shen Zhaoye was beheaded at the Zhuque Gate for privately painting forbidden images. Twelve years later, when she opened her eyes in the corpse pit of the Night Watch Division, someone was cutting her face with a knife. She had no heartbeat, but she had a wordless picture book on her body. Every time a demon fulfills its last wish, its name will be written down in the picture book, allowing her to borrow a kind of magic; the price is that every demon mark will take away part of her "human" traces. Over the capital of gods, the false moon has never waxed or waned for twelve years. Some people use official seals to buy and sell faces, some erase the deceased from the annals of history, and some have been waiting for her for twelve years. Shen Zhaoye must find out: who killed her and who let her wake up. But when the hundredth demon mark fell, was it she who came back alive?
