Shen Guichen, born in Shen's old house, looks at everything with a cold eye, with the frost of winter nights hidden in his brows. The Shen family's bloodline has a sojourn curse. Each generation of family heads died mysteriously before the age of thirty-five, and their souls turned into the shadow of the family, never to be transcended. Shen Guichen knew his destiny since he was a child, but he refused to surrender to it. With aloof calmness, he wanders among family relics and taboo clues, trying to deconstruct the crimes and punishments of his ancestors. He does not believe in salvation, only the truth. In the strange nightmare, the whispers of Shen's ancestors are intertwined with the covetousness of outside forces, and the family history is shrouded in mystery. He peeled off the human skin step by step, just to explore the crack that would end the curse. Shen Guichen's choice may lead to the complete destruction of the Shen family, or may allow new light to grow in the dark night. The confrontation between fate and curse, the cold and lonely soul, who can give the answer?
