- When the waves of the Huangpu River meet the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, and the melodies of a century-old pear garden intertwine with the mist of mystery, a legendary investigation spanning time and space is about to unfold at Shanghai's Haishang Pear Garden. This cultural landmark, offering panoramic views of the Bund, transforms into a hidden theater from Empress Wu Zetian's era, inviting you to become Detective Di's trusted assistant. Amidst the drama of opera and the intrigue of power struggles, unravel a court-shaking mystery hidden within the pear garden.
- During the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, the renowned Jiangnan performer Su Yuniang was invited to perform in Shanghai, but mysteriously disappeared backstage at the Haishang Liyuan theater, leaving only a jade pendant carved with a serpentine pattern. This case had far-reaching implications, involving both the hidden grudges of local gentry and what appeared to be a conspiracy linked to the clandestine organization "Snake Spirit." Coinciding with Judge Di's inspection tour of Jiangnan, he sought talented individuals to help solve this baffling case—you, the chosen investigator, must uncover the truth before sunset. Otherwise, not only will Su Yuniang's life be in peril, but the incident could also trigger a political upheaval in the imperial court.
- The activity centers around the Maritime Pear Garden, where the ancient stage with intricate carvings, corridors adorned with silk lanterns, and dressing rooms displaying costumes all become crime scenes. NPCs dressed in Tang-style attire like round-collar robes and ruqun skirts move about, sometimes transforming into slick theater troupe leaders or mysterious spectators. Every detail recreates the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, immersing you instantly in the experience.
- Veteran stage actors will portray key roles throughout, not only delivering clues but also triggering different plot branches based on your questions and choices. You might uncover inconsistencies while conversing with the accountant, or receive unexpected hints when comforting a frightened maid. Every decision propels the story forward, ultimately leading to different endings.

- The ancient corridor was sliced by slanting light as a man clad in black scale-patterned shoulder armor stood with his sword half-lowered, a crimson headband taut against his temples. His fingers curled around the hilt, gaze riveted on the bamboo shadows beyond the walkway. The wind lifted his sleeves, revealing dark red linings, while vermilion pillars cast a deep shadow across his profile.

- Faint light from the courtyard filtered through the wooden lattice window. A man in gray outer robes with a brown brocade vest stood in the corridor, holding a vermilion cup between his fingertips. Wooden beads dangled from his hair crown as he wore a faint smile, the intricate wood grain patterns from the window lattice casting delicate shadows on his clothing.

- By the carved wooden door, a man in a blue-patterned inner robe and gray outer coat raised his sleeve to his lips, the long wings of his black gauze cap hanging by his shoulders. In his other hand, he clutched a white round fan painted with flowers, his brows slightly furrowed as the doorframe's shadow cast a sharp contrast across his face.

- Before the vermilion wall stands a woman with her hair styled in a high bun, adorned with gold ornaments dangling red pearls. Her forehead is painted with a three-petal floral design, while golden chains and blue beads dangle from her ears. She wears a dark gold-woven outer robe over a bright yellow inner collar, with withered vine branches leaning diagonally against the wall behind her.

- Beneath the dark-tiled eaves, a man in a pale blue lanshan robe raises his cup, his cuffs embroidered with silver floral patterns. The ties of his black gauze cap hang behind his neck as his fingers rest on the rim of the celadon cup. Behind him, the lattice window frames filter the daylight into scattered specks of light.

- The sunlight of the ancient courtyard spread across the bluestone slabs. A man in a crimson heavy robe stood beneath the corridor, his collar adorned with a floral kerchief and his waist cinched with a gilded belt buckle. His shoulders and neck were taut, his gaze sweeping toward the corner of the courtyard, where the curve of the eaves cast a crescent-shaped shadow upon the hem of his robe.

- By the wooden chair in front of the red wall, a woman in a subtly patterned ruqun tilts her head with a smile, her black gauze hat adorned with red and white flowers. Clutching a short blade between her fingers, her white collar peeks out from her garment as the thin gauze on her hat's wings sways gently with each breath, the wood grain on the chairback clearly visible.
