[Supernatural➕Folklore Suspense➕Mystery Investigation]
I was chosen as the bride of the River God, but what they wanted was not my life, but the "treacherous fetus" in my belly.
My name is Lin Xiu, and I am the "stone girl" despised by everyone in Xishui Village. Until that rainy night, a man in black robe forced me to drink the golden elixir water, and I became pregnant with a fetus that did not exist in this world.
From then on, I had green and black handprints on my body, and I dreamed of a baby spirit crying every night. The villagers said that this was a gift from the river god. Only I know that a hundred-year curse has taken root in my body.
When Gu Huaiyuan, the youngest criminal psychologist in the provincial department, came to the village to track down the serial disappearances, he regarded me as his only clue and patient.
He believed in science and I was in a ghost land. He peeled off the cocoon, and I glimpsed the soul of the dead.
One of us is in the light, the other is in the dark, and together we tear apart the bloody secret under the incense of the Empress Temple. Until we discovered that all sacrifices were not to worship gods, but to suppress a more terrifying existence...
And when the fire at the altar was lit, should I believe the man who promised to take me and my child away, or should I believe the "treacherous fetus" in my belly who was both good and evil and connected to my blood?
The river god is asking for his life, and a treacherous fetus is secretly born. Can he, who has solved the mystery, finally break my deadlock?
