In an antique restoration shop on a rainy night, art museum director Shen Zhibai, who was covered in blood, broke into Lin Xia's life with half a bloody bone china fragment. This fragment from the treasured porcelain vase "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" actually allowed her to see strange visions from twenty years ago - a woman wearing a phoenix cheongsam, a burning kiln, and a disappearing security guard.
As the porcelain pieces continue to be pieced together, more strange things happen one after another: the bone china doll that bleeds in the warehouse, the reflection of death reflected in the blue and white jar, and the other half of the porcelain pieces in the body bag floating in the moat. When Lin Xia discovered that the phoenix pattern on the porcelain tiles was similar to her own appearance, the disappearance of Shen Zhibai's mother, the 1997 cultural relics smuggling and cremation case, and the mystery of the life and death of her twin sisters all pointed to family secrets she had never met.
In the neon-lit city, bone china is a container, containing the souls of injustice and the truth; cracks in the porcelain are signals, indicating that evil will eventually be exposed. When the last piece of porcelain was returned to its place, the kiln fire was rekindled, twenty years of lies were burned to ashes, and Lin Xia finally saw clearly that the phoenix reborn in the porcelain vase was actually another "self".
