Jian Yao has always wanted to escape from that home. After his parents divorced, his father spent his days living in his ancestral antique shop deep in the hutongs, slovenly and money-obsessed, forcing Jian Yao to recite Tang poems and Song lyrics and to appear on various television programmes to show off. After graduating from high school, Jian Yao was finally able to study abroad with the financial support of her mother. Before leaving, Jian Yao accompanies his father on a trip to Suzhou to fulfil his last wish. But on the first day of his visit to the gardens, his father is involved in a murder case and becomes a suspect. What’s more unexpected is that his father seems to have taken on the body of a girl tour guide! An unbelievable “spirit possession”. A garden mystery with a murderous twist. Take a tour of the hidden corners of the famous city in the south of the Yangtze River and discover the amazing truths hidden between the mountains and the rock pools. 77
