A plum vase from an official kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty oozed blood and tears late at night, entangling cultural relic restorer Lin Shutong into a century-old mystery. The unexpected discovery of German-made bullets in the cracks of the ice and the yellowed laminated letter all point to an unfinished sacrifice of the Republic of China. The mysterious family leader Shen Yanbai knocks on the door at night with broken porcelain. His porcelain body hides the curse of not being able to live until the age of thirty-five. The cinnabar mole spreading on Lin Shutong's collarbone is exactly the same as the birthmark of the baby sealed in the plum vase.
