Jinshi receives an imperial order to return a concubine to her homeland five years after her death. When her body proves mysteriously untouched by time, he brings Maomao to the Bi clan’s southern province to investigate. A bustling city on the water offers unfamiliar medicines and clues, but pirates searching for hidden treasure have already stirred unrest. An incident at the concubine’s funeral soon pulls the pair into a far more dangerous mystery.
