An ancient book that records hundreds of unsolved strange things, a fatal encounter that spans Yin and Yang.
Folklore graduate student 'Zhang Qiu' accidentally obtained the ancient ancestral book "The Record of Hundreds of Strangers", which recorded 100 unsolved folk horror legends. What's even weirder is that these stories are not fiction – they are being repeated in reality. Whenever a supernatural incident is solved, the corresponding story in the book will be marked with a blood-red cross, and new horrors will follow.
While investigating the "Painted Skin Ghost" incident, Zhang Qiu met the mysterious nurse 'Su Wanqing'. She is beautiful and gentle, but her inhuman side is revealed when she is dressing up at midnight. As the investigation deepened, Zhang Qiu discovered that Su Wanqing was not as simple as she appeared - she had the blood of the "Night Watcher" flowing in her body and could communicate with the Yin and Yang worlds, but she was also cursed because of this power.
From "Nie Xiaoqian" in "Liao Zhai" to the "Skeleton Lady" in "Zi Buyu", from driving corpses in western Hunan to ghost coffins in the Yellow River, the two traveled together between ancient and modern strange things. Zhang Qiu gradually discovered that his connection with "The Record of Hundreds of Strangers" was far deeper than imagined - he may be the reincarnation of the protagonist of a story in the book, and Su Wanqing's fate has been entangled with him for thousands of years.
When the hundredth story is crossed out, the prophecy of "A Strange Night" will come true.
