Dream Thief of the Divine Capital

[A cool, catlike beauty with an aloof charm × a sunny, energetic boy with a puppy-like nature] [A cast portrait of the Wu Zhou era + illusion-based mystery] In the first year of Shenlong, with just two days remaining until Empress Wu's abdication ceremony, Ming Yuenu, the Tang Empire's greatest illusionist, receives an imperial summons to the palace. But she has another purpose in entering the palace: revenge, and regicide! Twenty-six years ago, five-year-old Ming Yuenu witnessed the bizarre death of her master, Ming Chongyan, with her own eyes. Armed with a powerful gift for probing people's hearts and years of seething hatred, she swore to kill Wu Zetian while she still sat upon the imperial throne! But before she can strike, a series of bizarre murders takes place. The manner of death in each case matches the Four Symbols Forest of Ten Thousand Formations, an array her master once mentioned that has long since been lost... Four strange corpses, four conflicting accounts, twenty-four hours. Each illusion she unravels turns the truth on its head; each person's dream she steals brings her one step closer to death. Tonight, who is hunting whom? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to... A Night of Illusion and Murder in the Divine Capital! ❀❀❀❀❀ Cui Danzhi, usually as carefree and bright as the moon, is now covering his eyes and trembling as he stands in front of Ming Yuenu, looking as if he's about to face certain death Taiping: “Wan'er, look. The Ming lady Cui Shangcheng sees is quite different from the one we see!” Shangguan Wan'er rubs her forehead. “I can't even watch. I really can't...” Cui Danzhi, the sunny, cheerful boy: “Yue, Yue, Yue, Yue, Yue Nu, I-I-I-I'll protect you!”
