City reporter Lin Wei went deep into a remote mountain village to investigate the ancient custom of "paper-tie brides" of ghost marriages. She was shocked to find that in the recent seven private incests, the faces of the burned paper brides were all photos of her. At night, the nightmare came as expected - she was driven into a paper puppet by a living piston, forced to marry a cold stranger's corpse in the flames, and felt the searing pain of tearing her soul apart.
Lin Wei, who was struggling to survive, found the only insider in the village: Mrs. Chen, a paper maker who had escaped the fate of ghost marriage in her early years. The old man revealed the bloody truth: this is not a simple folk custom, but the collective revenge of countless girls who died in vain. They possessed paper men, used ghost marriage to reverse manipulation, and chose living substitutes, just to break free from the shackles of hundreds of years and regain the life they had been deprived of.
Faced with the fate of being completely devoured, Lin Wei and Chen Po decided to join forces to fight fire with fire. They took the risk to hold a more taboo "reverse ghost marriage" ceremony: pasting a photo of the male corpse on the paper groom, writing a letter of divorce on behalf of the wronged soul, severing the yin relationship, divorcing the husband and returning the yang.
At dawn the cock crows and the flames burn out. Among the wisps of ashes, seven barefoot girls slowly crawled out, ushering in the first ray of morning light of new life. In the ancestral hall, all the tablets of male corpses shattered into pieces.
