Beneath the Cursed Jade, All Things Have a Voice

The moment Lin Zhixia married into the wealthy Lin family, she heard what she was never meant to hear: the hundreds of murder weapons in the basement were ready to betray their owners, one by one. Others solved cases with clues. She solved them by putting murder weapons on the witness stand. A teacup remembered who had thrown tea in someone’s face; a pocket watch remembered whose breathing had stopped. One by one, the cursed objects exposed the wealthy family’s secrets, and the Lin family’s carefully maintained image collapsed overnight. But the most dangerous person of all was her silent husband, Gu Yanci. He was the sixth-generation Night Watcher, a suppressor who could silence anything, yet he himself couldn’t hear a thing. Every word he wrote down from the objects was actually something she had told him before bed each night. A four-hundred-year conspiracy involving imitations of spirit weapons came to light. The true villain, Shen Mo, had returned to life in another’s body, all to resurrect his dead daughter. With the source of all weapons on the verge of awakening, Lin Zhixia had to take up the mantle of the seventh-generation Night Watcher and seal it away again. There were three things left unsaid between them, and none of them was an answer. Time itself was the third.
