Can a person who always sees ghosts be happy? Well, here's a friendly reminder. This book is filled with violence, darkness, bloodshed, and perversion. It lacks any positive energy and gives off a constant sense of oppression throughout. This book is not suitable for the average person, nor is it suitable for upright individuals and gentlemen. Of course, these issues can only be realized after reading further; they cannot be experienced by only reading the initial chapters. As for me, I enjoy digging pits and don't care about filling them. This book sets traps within traps, and once you step into one, it's hard to get out. Everyone should proceed with caution.

Synopsis: Longtuge was built during the Northern Song Dynasty and housed various books, artworks, and scrolls, resembling a modern-day library. The most renowned "curator" of Longtuge was Bao Zheng, the Direct Scholar of Longtuge and the magistrate of Kaifeng. This story, obviously fictional, revolves around a large family of mice and cats who unravel ancient unsolved cases within the collection of Longtuge, as well as unsolved cases brought in from various jurisdictions. While this ancient detective story retains most of the characters from the "Guxing" series, it is completely separate from the original storyline and has no connection whatsoever. Therefore, please do not confuse the two, as the plot has no continuity and stands as a unique and fresh story.
