After programmer Chen Fei received a strange letter from his mother, he was forced to return to his sealed-off hometown, Beiling Village. Everything there felt wrong: every household had crookedly pasted blood-red wedding characters on its doors and windows, the village fell deathly silent after dark, and taboos were strictly enforced. When he accidentally broke an obscure rule, eerie suona music and the apparition of a woman in red began haunting him. He must team up with Liu Jiu, the mysterious girl who runs a paper effigy shop, and search for loopholes among countless brutal folk customs. Only by uncovering the bloody pact between his family and the ancient “Wedding Stele” can he find a sliver of hope in this village turned into a world of rule-based horror.
