Seven mysterious listeners and Zhou Yu, the world's first storyteller, are trapped on a desert island. Soon, they find there is a large number of clues related to the "Xu's Annihilation Massacre" which took place many years ago. And it's not a coincidence - Zhou Yu is the sole survivor of the tragic events. With help from Liu Ru Meng, who pretends to be his wife, he tries to solve the original murder case and find the real prepetrator. To do so, the guests must find clues in six scripts left on the island. Each of them has a criminal case, which need to be solved, to get further information about the massacre. However, what the participants didn't anticipate, is that after each solved case, one of them dies. (Source: Chinese = iyf.tv; Douban || Translation = MyDramaList) Edit Translation

Reviews
Started confusing... Ended up just okay.
While the story seemed confusing, especially during the first few episodes, it all started to make a bit of sense halfway through the series.The murder mystery aspect of the drama is actually gripping, it's just that viewers have to brave a couple of episodes for the whole thing to make sense. The hallucinations part, while it helped the storyline, is also very confusing given the timeline when the story was taking place. Felt like a watched magical realism / murder mystery to be honest...
Lastly, I don't really understand the point of the female main lead as she has the weakest plotline in the story. Almost every character present was important and involved in the murder that happened years ago, except her.
