Dark and Stormy Night, the Fox Demon Attacks

[Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio style, Chinese horror × old-school angst and melodrama]

Gu Shanyue has been plagued by nightmares lately. She dreams that her husband, drenched in blood, is standing beside her bed, urging her again and again: “A Yue, run! Hurry!”

Blood drips down his handsome face, each drop landing in her palm.

The terrifying sight always jolts her awake in a panic.

When she opens her eyes, her ever-gentle husband is by her side, tenderly wiping the cold sweat from her brow like a spring breeze.

“A Yue, another nightmare?”

Gu Shanyue gazes at him, studying him closely.

It's him. Jiang Yu.

Without a doubt, he's her husband.

But why does she keep having such terrifying dreams?

Later, Gu Shanyue gradually notices strange things happening around the manor:

At midnight, inexplicable chewing sounds come from the ancestral shrine.

Strange bloodstains appear in the back garden from time to time.

Familiar servants gradually disappear, while many unfamiliar faces show up around the manor.

And then there's her husband, who keeps vanishing for stretches of time without warning...

Once there was a village.

Everyone in it became a heartless corpse.

Later the village fell into ruin, and a dense forest grew in its place.

Beyond the forest there had once been a vast range of mountains.

Somewhere along the way,

those mountains gradually disappeared, too,

and all that remained was a desolate wasteland.
