Jiang Chen, heir to the Ma Yi School's divine physiognomy, follows his master's orders and marries into the wealthy Shen family, only to be treated by his wife's family as a “useless live-in son-in-law.” At the banquet for Old Master Shen's seventieth birthday, everyone humiliates him for his shabby gift. But before their eyes, he uses his ancestral medical arts to break a sinister soul-locking formation, exposing the mystery behind the murder of a young woman whose body was sunk in a pond twenty years ago. To seize the foundation of a yin residence, the Shen family stole Su Wanqing's spirit-marriage betrothal contract. The Ma Yi School disciple died full of resentment, and her fury became a “curse upon the descendants,” trapped in the old mansion. Whenever someone in the Shen family married, she used haunted objects to claim a life.
