Mystery Revival: The Rouge Curse

Before the final notes of “A Dream of the Peony Pavilion” have faded, the stage has become a haunted domain.

Zhang Youhong, a celebrated opera star, wakes to find herself bound to four eerie “old relics”:

Ghostly makeup that traces patterns, a scarlet qipao that binds the dead, red embroidered shoes that knock on the gates of the underworld, and a colorful marionette that chuckles in her ear, forever yearning for a “partner.”

She is forced into the dark world of ghost tamers.

Here, ghosts cannot be killed. Only by understanding their “rules” can one stand a chance against them.

Here, only ghosts can fight ghosts. To wield their power is both a curse and a chance to survive.

War rages across the land, and the supernatural is returning.

She will meet the legends of the future:

Luo Wensong, who holds copper coins and can see what lies ahead;

Meng Xiaodong, gifted with a rare talent that connects the real and the unreal;

and Zhang Dong, the gray-clad young man who presides over an old mansion, his presence as deep as an abyss...

From the eerie three-story building, to the sunken ghost ship, to the Ghost Post Office that holds countless secrets.

Forced to join hands, they seek out the rules in despair and cling to their sanity amid madness.

This is the original epic of the seven-person team from the Republican era,

and the uncanny legend of a beauty in troubled times who, surrounded by fierce ghosts, wears her ruined makeup like armor and takes control of her own fate.
