This is a suspense novel presented as a fictionalized transcript of phone calls, a patriotic supernatural thriller.
One day, four years after that "incident," Teacher Ji received a midnight call from his ex-girlfriend. She was now deep in the mountains of Fengdu Ghost City, at the site of that eerie old mansion... From his ex-girlfriend Xiaowen's account, Teacher Ji learned that everyone who had entered the mansion with them back then had become strange in their behavior and met an untimely end. Xiaowen had decided to explore the underground palace again at night and uncover the secrets of the mountain's desolate graves and the memorial tablets in the old mansion...
What was the real purpose of the midnight call from his ex-girlfriend? And was the story behind it true?
The truth is hidden in the fragments of conversation between the two, woven together from all kinds of folk traditions and mythological legends. Midnight calls, a mysterious old mansion, a nighttime exploration of an underground palace, a village of graves on Mount Chou, Lin Jun and the white tiger, descendants of the Ba Kingdom... The origins of Fengdu Ghost City, history buried deep during the War of Resistance... Someone is lying, someone is hiding something, someone is trying to cover something up... And someone may not even be himself...
