When private detective Lin Feng was entrusted by a mysterious woman to investigate a corruption case involving a high-ranking official, he unexpectedly obtained an ancient jade bracelet engraved with a red serpentine pattern. The jade bracelet triggered supernatural phenomena such as abnormal communication equipment and memory hallucinations. As the case progressed, it was discovered that the client, Tang Meili, was actually a soul that had been dead for many years, using the body of a living person for revenge. The investigation clues eventually pointed to the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, revealing that the jade bracelet was originally a "lost soul guide" required for the reincarnation ceremony, which needed to be combined with the life stone pillar on the altar on the night of the full moon to complete the soul's resurrection.The story interweaves subplots such as the emotional entanglement between private detective Lin Feng and jade collector Chen Fei, and presents a dual narrative of real estate asset investigation and ancient tomb exploration through chapters like "The Crowded Empty Elevator" and "An Ancient Jade". The core contradiction focuses on the temporal and spatial interweaving of modern crimes and ancient secret arts. Archaeological elements such as jade bracelets and altars form a double suspenseful tension with corruption cases.

When I walked into Imbeka Secondary School on my first day of Grade 8, I had already made up my mind: no boys, no drama, no heartbreak.
