Siheyuan: The Spirit in the Ancient Well, Beating My Past-Life Enemy

When Chen Mo inherits a century-old siheyuan in Beijing’s Second Ring, he never expects that he has signed a life-and-death contract spanning a hundred years. The ancient well sealed in the courtyard shows him the cruel truth on the first full-moon night: the water reflects not his own face, but a Republican-era bride who was strangled to death. “Find him... kill him...” The ghost’s obsession pierces straight into Chen Mo’s mind through the well water. As his investigation deepens, Chen Mo discovers an even more horrifying truth: the murderer from back then has been reincarnated as his neighbor and is secretly manipulating the demolition plans, hoping to destroy all the evidence. Each full moon, the ancient well grants Chen Mo the ability to communicate with spirits for a short time, allowing him to witness the murder scene from a century ago with his own eyes. Meanwhile, the killer’s modern-day incarnation always seems to sense his investigation and begins using one “accident” after another to thwart him. With a bulldozer bearing down on the siheyuan’s entrance, Chen Mo makes a reckless decision on the last full-moon night. He jumps into the ancient well of his own accord, carrying the wronged spirit’s resentment back to the night of the murder. This time, he must not only uncover the truth, but rewrite history with his own hands. In the chaos where yin and yang meet, a revenge spanning time and space is about to unfold...
