The official synopsis describes how Maomao’s cursed investigation continues. Maomao is staying over at Jinshi’s mansion again and meets Suiren, who tells a story about Jinshi’s childhood. The apothecary finds a mysteriously colored pebble in the suitcase containing Jinshi’s favorite toy.
This toy becomes a clue to solving the mystery of the “curse” that the Empress Dowager placed on the former emperor and why his corpse still looked the same as when he was alive. Maomao later visits the former emperor’s room with the Empress Dowager, Jinshi. The secrets of the late emperor and the true nature of the curse are about to be revealed.
