A ancient scroll, a mysterious puzzle, a thousand-year Chinese-style fantasy adventure.
In the divine capital Luoyang, a series of murders erupt around an old painting.
Victims bear strange ink-claw marks; their souls are sucked into the painting and vanish.
Gu Wangyue, a judge from the Dali Temple, is assigned to the case.
Following clues, he steps into the forbidden realm—the Painting Realm.
He travels through more than 20 famous Chinese paintings:
Han Xizai’s Night Banquet, Along the River During the Qingming Festival, A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, and more.
He chases the killer through palace courts, bustling markets, green landscapes, and lonely river boats.
Reality and paintings intertwine; time and space fold.
Evil spirits hide behind painted skins, devouring souls to live. Danger lurks at every step.
At last, Gu Wangyue enters the infinite nested maze based on Double Screens: Gathering for a Game of Chess.
He faces the Painted-Skin Ink Shadow.
With a wolf-hair brush as his blade and moonlight as his spell,
he fights a fierce final battle.
With one brushstroke, he seals the evil forever in the depths of the screens.
The broken Painting Realm is restored.
Peace returns to the divine capital.
