Last year the peach blossoms laughed in the spring breeze, but now the mystery is locked in the palace.
Behind the legend of Cui Hu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, who has a "human face and a peach blossom", there is an unknown mystery - the mysterious life experience of his wife Jiangniang. Many years later, his son Cui Bohan went against his normal behavior after the Hungry Ghost Festival and insisted on going to Beijing for scientific research. This trip turned out to be a life-threatening journey: murderous people were following every step of the way; strange things happened, the man in green was able to speak animal language; there was a demonic atmosphere, zombies were wandering around, fox fairies were phantoms, and the mist was biting people... Even the cats and dogs around him suddenly began to speak human words! The grass and trees are all soldiers, and every step is frightening.
After arriving in the capital after many twists and turns, Cui Bohan was regarded as a "flesh poison" and imprisoned in a deep palace forbidden garden, becoming an indispensable necessity for a shocking palace incident. Power struggles, the past and the present are entangled; the soul is locked in the dark night, is it a seduction or a deliberate murder? In the past, when brothers and sisters faced each other, was it a matter of blood or estrangement? In the whirlpool of fame, wealth and power, the truth is confusing and murderous intentions are intertwined...
Can Cui Bohan escape his fate? What exactly is involved in the mystery of Jiang Niang? In this bloody night in the palace, what is right and what is wrong are only corpses and history books, waiting for future generations to comment.
