Synopsis

[The whole dorm transmigrates + supernatural tales + Chinese-style horror + detective work + espionage + power struggles + two strong leads + satisfying wish fulfillment]

At two in the morning, the human-skin mirror in Dormitory 314 came alive!

All four female college students in the dorm were dragged, screaming, into the scene of a horrific skinning case from 1926!

To uncover the truth and return to the modern world, we immediately latched onto the aloof, handsome Chief Inspector Chen.

He handles the investigations, and we provide the brainpower!

Republican-era detective work is too backward? No problem!

I, a law student, handle interrogations; Qin Wei, a medical student, examines corpses; Shen Li, an art student, draws portraits; and Su Tang, an athletic student, provides protection.

Under the pretense of having studied abroad, we show off modern forensic “high tech”!

Gruesome murders follow one after another: Bai Yulan, the star of the Splendid Troupe, loses her head, and the leading actress Yuenu is skinned alive.

As we pursue the cases and hunt down the killers, we stumble into a desolate village and a haunted city, encountering one terrifying piece of Chinese folklore after another!

The only clue to returning to the modern world comes from an ancient legend told by the coroner: the “Yin-Yang Mirror,” crafted from specially treated human skin and capable of crossing between the worlds of yin and yang.

What happens when modern forensic medicine, criminal profiling, and investigative logic collide with the Republican era's reliance on confessions and the Chen family shadow-puppet theater's century-old secret arts...

But nobody told us that a skinning and dismemberment case had once taken place in Dormitory 314, or that the killer is still collecting pieces of human bodies!

And wait, after all that work, it turns out this human-skin mirror is only the beginning of a supernatural nightmare?!

Chen Jiyun: As a police chief of Jiangcheng, I have a duty to protect the people... and, while I'm at it, you, the junior clerk from the future.
