A cursed past, a pair of red embroidered shoes that bring death.
In a remote mountain village in the 1980s, a scandal and a suicide unleashed the most vicious curse. As villagers began dying one after another in bizarre, inexplicable ways, panic consumed Yangjia'ao.
Ten-year-old Yang Xiaojuan fled in terror with her parents on a rainy night, only to watch them die horribly along the way. The only thing left at the scene was a pair of bright red embroidered shoes, as red as blood.
Ten years later, the young woman, still haunted by nightmares, returns to her hometown, determined to uncover the truth. Buried lies, the sins of their parents' generation, secrets hidden deep within the ancestral shrine... She and her companions gradually discover that the so-called "truth" from all those years ago was nothing but a carefully constructed deception.
Why does the vengeful spirit's resentment linger? What dark secrets lie beneath the grudges of the past? And that ever-present tap-tap sound begins again. This time, it is waiting for a reckoning that will settle everything once and for all.
Old debts must be repaid in blood, but only the truth can truly let the wronged souls rest in peace.
