"Don't look into his eyes..." This was the first warning Yun Jiao received when he stepped into Qingwu Ancient Town.
Yun Jiao, a graduate student in folklore who was born with yin and yang eyes, came to this isolated ancient town to investigate the centuries-old custom of underworld marriage. When she found the well-preserved groom's body in the old house of the Feng family, her pocket watch suddenly became hot - it was the last thing left to her before her mother disappeared.
"I found you, bride." The corpse's eyes opened in the darkness, and the red thread silently wrapped around her ring finger. On the night she was forced to have a secret kiss, Yun Jiao learned that this century-old ghost named Feng Lin was actually related to the massacre of her family recorded in her graduation thesis. What's even more frightening is that the modern ghost marriage murders taking place in the ancient town are all using the same rituals used when the Feng family was wiped out.
"You have the blood of the Su family." Feng Lin's cold fingers stroked her neck, "You also have the mark of our Feng family." When the first victim's soul knelt down to Yun Jiao in the mirror, she finally understood - she had never been a bystander in this revenge that spanned a century.
In the yellowed photo in the pocket watch, the mother was standing in front of the Feng family's old house in her wedding dress, and the groom next to her... Had no face.
