Jiang Haodong (played by Ruan Zhiqiang), a section chief working in a government agency in Shanghai, is at a critical point in his life. His unit is considering candidates for the deputy director position, but he is anxious and makes mistakes at work. His novelist wife, Shu Mei (played by Dong Ling), is busy finishing her suspense novel "The Death Puzzle," neglecting household matters, which leads to ongoing quarrels between the couple, who already have underlying tensions. Furthermore, Haodong cannot forget his former lover—who is also a mutual friend of the couple—editor Lin Qianyu (played by Fu Chong). An anonymous package containing a peach blossom photo escalates the couple’s conflicts. In a scuffle, Haodong accidentally gets stabbed with a fruit knife. In a panic, Shu Mei turns to Qianyu for help in disposing of the body, but strange events keep occurring, complicating the death incident and shrouding it in mystery…This film is adapted from Shen Zuitian's novel "Perfect Murder."
