——A bloody epic about curses, prescriptions and three women
In the cold winter of 1973, mother Wang Xiulan jumped into an ancient well, leaving behind a pair of embroidered shoes and her five-month-old daughter.
For fifty years, the well water turned red every Qingming Festival, and the villagers kept it secret.
Yang Xiaomei was accused by her husband's family of being "infertile"
During Liu Dongmei's heart surgery, she discovered that there was a "Dongmei Vein" recorded in ancient books in her body;
Liu Chunyan tore out the century-old story of midwives mutilating baby girls from the burned account books...
When Dongmei dug up the iron box under the ancient well - among the twelve baby skeletons, there was actually her "brother" who should have existed;
When Chunyan discovered that the "ancient anti-cancer prescription" that Zhao's Pharmaceuticals offered a large reward was the Jingbian vine that her mother cooked every month;
When Yang Xiaomei drank the unproven medicine and fell into a coma, she saw her mother's embroidered shoes hanging in the well...
They finally understood the Sanskrit curse on the inside of the silver bracelet:
"Wherever Li's bloodline and heart channels are connected, winter plum blossoms will bloom."
Adapted from real events, it presents a century-old survival epic of Chinese rural women.
