Features: Is love for salvation or destruction? Is love for sacrifice or fulfillment? The latest work from the popular young adult novelist Changle! Main feature of Mengyua, big reveal of the ending! Perfectly presented! The book inherits Changle's literary style with a lingering classical charm, exuding an inexplicable sadness and melancholy; the seemingly logical ( means "deduction" or "reasoning" here, but since it's part of the title, I'll keep it as is) takes a sharp turn at the climax. It's not an adventure novel, yet it delivers a heart-stirring shock through its mysterious and eerie atmosphere. Deduction can be this exciting. Is love for salvation or destruction? Is love for sacrifice or fulfillment? The latest work from the popular young adult novelist Changle! Main feature of Mengyua series, big reveal of the ending! Perfectly presented! Xiangsimen tells the story of Su Wangyan, who recklessly steals a mysterious broken sword from his ancestral sword pavilion, plunging himself into great trouble, just to help an unknown, enigmatic woman with a mysterious background. The woman hands Su Wangyan a baffling painting and secretly seeks his help. Only too eager to help, Su Wangyan and Wei Changge soon find themselves entangled in an inexplicable event they cannot foresee—mysteriously disappearing houses, walking corpses, inns piled with coffins, and life-restoring elixirs. Who is this woman? What is depicted in the painting? What secrets lie behind these bizarre events? As the story unfolds, a murder that has been sleeping for twenty years is finally exposed. In the inn of a snow-covered town, who was driven by greed? Who harbored hatred out of love? Who nurtured resentment into enmity? And who harmed others in the process of harming themselves? The seemingly innocent and adorable girl, why does she hide such deep schemes? Was it love that destroyed her, or did she destroy love?
