Shen Wenyue, the youngest daughter of the Shen family in Jiangnan, was brutally exterminated. She dug out half a piece of talisman paper from her father's palm and identified her enemy as Xie Wenchang, the old man of the Xie family who appeared to be a Buddhist but actually practiced black magic. In order to take revenge, she agreed to the Xie family's request for a ghost marriage and married a paper groom dressed in red.
On the wedding night, Shen Wenyue discovered that the paper groom was actually Xie Wujiu, the Zhenbei general who was poisoned by the Xie family a hundred years ago. His soul has been sealed in the paper man for nearly a hundred years. It was originally used as a medicine for the Xie family to refine the "Yin Shou Dan". However, because Shen Wenyue's horoscope is all Yin, the Xie family regarded it as a medicine furnace for refining the elixir. The two formed an alliance and vowed to expose the Xie family's conspiracy and seek revenge.
The appearance of the mute servant Qinggu brings them a turning point. She is actually a descendant of Xie Wujiu's old army, and has been lurking in the Xie family for hundreds of years, waiting for an opportunity to rescue the general. With Qing Gu's secret help, Shen Wenyue visited the study at night and went deep into the ancient well, gradually uncovering the shocking secret of the Xie family using Yin life to extend their lives and colluding with the royal family to refine the "Seven Star Life Extension Array" - the Xie family kidnapped many Yin women and killed loyal generals just to help the emperor prolong his life.
During the decisive battle, Qing Gu destroyed the Xie family's magic circle at the cost of her life. Shen Wenyue used ancestral secrets to severely injure Xie Wenchang. Shen Wenyue took Xie Wujiu's remnant soul and enlisted the help of soul-seeking envoy Lin Mo and Medicine King Gu Sumubai. After going through hardships and dangers, he refined the soul-nourishing jade and found the dragon's blood grass, and finally succeeded in rebuilding Xie Wujiu's body.
After being reborn, Xie Wujiu cleared his wrongdoing and held a formal wedding with Shen Wenyue. The two retired to the Jingxin Villa and gave birth to twins. With love and perseverance, they ended a century of hatred and conspiracy, and started an ordinary and happy new life. Completed a century of love and redemption.
