Ghosts Within the Painted Realm Vol.1

Liu Rumei, a poor painter gifted with yin‑yang vision, keeps the eerie ancient scroll Autumn Sorrow of the Cold Palace. Inside the painting lie secrets of a thirty‑year‑old cold‑palace injustice and the fragmented spirit of a wrong‑dead empress.
When a noble consort dies in bizarre circumstances, Liu Rumei is falsely accused of murder and thrown into prison. Prince Xiao Jue suspects a huge royal conspiracy and rescues her. An old half‑dragon‑phoenix jade pendant surfaces, dragging out long‑buried Eastern‑Palace secrets.
The scroll grants access to illusory painting‑realms swarming with aggrieved spirits, while fresh murders keep occurring. The Empress Dowager's forces keep laying deadly traps. Forced to take risks side by side, they can hardly tell friend from foe. Will the truth hide among vengeful ghosts, or deep within powerful people's lies? A perilous hunt for justice begins.
