The Ancient Bronze Mirror: Don't Look in the Mirror at Night

New to the working world, Lin Zhou rents a shabby, secluded apartment to save on rent. After moving in, he is plagued by strange occurrences. The power and signal often go out on stormy nights, a chilling wind swirls through the rooms, and strange noises never stop. His older sister, Lin Jun, senses something sinister about the place. She searches everywhere for help and brings in the righteous Daoist Master Xuanchen, who becomes key to solving the mystery.

An antique mirror in the apartment conceals an unjust death from sixty years ago, during the Republican era. Su Qingyuan, the daughter of the Su family, was murdered by their wicked servant Zhang Mang. The killer hired a practitioner of the unorthodox arts to suppress her vengeful spirit. Resenting his payment, the practitioner sealed both Su Qingyuan's and Zhang Mang's souls inside a bronze mirror, trapping the good and evil spirits there for sixty years.

Su Qingyuan has only three chances to reincarnate, and meeting Lin Zhou is her last chance to escape. The evil ghost Zhang Mang repeatedly tries to harm Lin Zhou, while Su Qingyuan, who has suffered terribly, keeps draining her soul power to protect him in secret.

Strange events continue to erupt, and the pair's past-life romance, spanning multiple cycles of reincarnation, gradually comes to light. At the critical moment, Daoist Master Xuanchen enters the mirror and fights to the death, sacrificing himself to slay the evil ghost and break the mirror's seal. Su Qingyuan goes to the underworld and lets go of her obsession. She visits Lin Zhou in a dream to bid him a final farewell that lasts all night. And so, a love between a human and a ghost, spanning sixty years, comes to an end.
