Fragrant Tomb

Ten years ago, the murder of the spice king, Shen Zhaoran, shocked the entire Lang Valley. Although the police successfully solved the case, unsolved mysteries remained.

Forty-year-old Jifeng, an associate professor at the police academy, grew tired of his mundane teaching life. He yearned to pursue the true meaning of life, so he applied to Dean Lu to reinvestigate this peculiar case.

However, when Dean Lu agreed, he proposed an unexpected gambling agreement. At the same time, the female professor he had secretly admired for many years also put forward her own conditions for such an agreement.

Jifeng embarked on a year of arduous investigation at the Lang Valley City Criminal Investigation Detachment, ultimately uncovering the truth of the case. Yet, this unexpectedly triggered a tragedy: the murderer's fiancée chose to commit suicide, and a police officer sacrificed his life heroically.

Faced with all of this, Jifeng couldn't help but wonder: what was the true meaning of this investigation? With a huge conflict between his personal ideals and reality, how would he choose?
