Life in the quiet mountain village came to an abrupt end on Bai Hao’s eighteenth birthday. The grandparents who had raised him died under mysterious circumstances, and soon the entire village was plunged into a bloody nightmare. A vengeful spirit climbed out of a deep well and began slaughtering the villagers who had once turned a cold shoulder to others. On the brink of death, Bai Hao fled into a gloomy old mansion from the Republican era, unaware that this was only the beginning of something even more terrifying.
Deep inside the haunted house, he encountered “her,” Red Butterfly. She was a female ghost from the Republican era, breathtakingly beautiful, clad in a blood-red qipao, with eyes as cold as ice. By a twist of fate, Bai Hao became the “ghost controller” who could command Red Butterfly. He survived by sheer luck, but also became the sole survivor of the village massacre.
Bai Hao, now on the run, was soon targeted by a mysterious organization called “Sun.” They claimed to be an official agency, tasked with handling “supernatural incidents” hidden from the public. Forced into a maelstrom where light and darkness intertwined, Bai Hao discovered that the world was far from what it seemed. Vicious ghosts dating back to the Republican era were quietly awakening. They took many forms and possessed emotions, even intelligence. A hostile organization called “Dark Night” was making its move, while Red Butterfly, the ghost he controlled, seemed to conceal a shocking sealed past and lost powers of her own...
The shadow of the village’s dead had barely faded when new horrors began to breed in the corners of the city. An ordinary boy and a mysterious woman in red stepped into a secret world teeming with ghosts and danger. All he wanted was to stay alive, but he had no idea that he carried a secret capable of overturning the balance between yin and yang.
