About
An eerie and ancient legend holds that if a fisherman clad in a straw cloak appears suspended over Lake Zhaoyang, someone will die suddenly. The notorious bandit Feng Zhonglong arrived at the lake's edge with the chancellor's daughter, whom he had eloped with, and a treasure map stolen from the palace. Late one night, the chancellor's daughter awoke to see the cloaked figure fishing through the window in the rain. The next day, Feng Zhonglong dives to the lake's depths in search of treasure... Two young women, still shaken after reading this tale late at night, were startled by a sudden downpour. Outside their window, a small boat drifted on the lake-carrying five men in straw cloaks! Nalan, a psychology major turned assistant to bestselling suspense novelist Qin Huai, found herself drawn into a whirlpool of intrigue. Qin Huai was a womanizer, a suspect, a nocturnal wanderer-and those around him began dying under mysterious circumstances. Simultaneously, Nalan discovers an unknown group monitoring and tailing her. The longer she interacts with Qin Huai, the less she feels she understands him. One thing remains certain: Qin Huai is an extremely dangerous man, and she is playing an extremely dangerous game. The most lethal aspect is that she has become entangled in an emotional quagmire with him. The legend of the lake bottom treasure, the clues of the Five Corpse Mystery, the feuds between aristocratic families, and Qin Huai's dark secrets-all weave a net closing in on Nalan. Finally, on a stormy night, Nalan saw the straw-cloaked figure dangling a fishing line from the boat... and she was the one closest to death.
