In the spring of the twelfth year of Jingren, everyone in Chang'an knew of a murder case in which a husband had been killed.
Tu Susu, the prime suspect, said that no one in the world knew better than she did how unjustly she had been accused, just like Dou E!
She hadn't killed anyone, but she was taking the blame.
To prove her innocence, she had no choice but to work with her nemesis.
But she never expected her nemesis to cling to her instead.
Tu Susu's response: Keep men out of your heart, and you'll solve cases like a god.
To uncover the truth from ten years ago, Tu Susu uses herself as a pawn and ventures into Chang'an. But there, she encounters one bizarre case after another: a portrait suddenly appears on a city wall and can kill out of thin air; a peaceful little village is plagued by a tree demon that kills people; ghostly flames appear in an inn, along with eerie singing and faces that vanish...
Beneath the night sky, are these truly the work of ghosts and gods, or is human malice to blame...?
