Plot
Tian Xiaomai, an urban white-collar worker, is about to enter the marriage hall with her fiancé Shengzan, but Tian's father's death in the line of duty breaks the quiet happiness. When sorting out the relics, Tian Xiaomai accidentally discovered her father's investigation notes, but unexpectedly she was caught in a mysterious murder case that ended in vain more than ten years ago. This case also evoked Xiaomai's painful but deep-rooted first love memories when she was young. At the same time, Xiaomai learned from her bestie Qian Ling that there is an online store called "Witch District", where you can buy everything, even love memories. But after she bought a mysterious purple scarf, various accidents followed one after another, and everything seemed to be related to the unsolved case and her young lover Qiushou. Tian Xiaomai investigated the clues of the unsolved case of the year, and searched for her first love Qiushou through the "Witch District". But as the investigation deepened bit by bit, Tian Xiaomai found that her love was closely entangled with the murder case, and even Shengzan's family was involved.
