On a rainy night, a lawyer's letter from Jiangnan brought 28-year-old architectural designer Shen Muchen back to the starting point of his destiny - Shen Garden.
This century-old house hidden deep in the water town has ninety-nine and a half rooms. Legend has it that half of the rooms are reserved for ghosts. As the only direct descendant of the Shen family, Shen Muchen was only here to sign the demolition agreement, but unexpectedly, the first time he stepped into the main hall, he saw pictures of ladies hanging on the wall - the faces of all the people in the pictures were blank.
That night, he found a parchment-covered "Lian Xin Notes" in a secret room in his study. This diary will automatically display blood-red text based on his experiences in the ancient house. The first line of words clearly reads:
"People who shouldn't be here come anyway."
What's even weirder is that the woman who was hired to restore the cultural relics in the park, Gu Qingli - she is as gentle as jade, but when she first saw him, there was a glimmer of complexity in her eyes that he couldn't understand. She got close to him, saved him, and also tried to steal his letters late at night.
Until he saw the name of her great-grandfather on the yellowed genealogy - the warlord who forced Lian Xin, the ancestor of the Shen family, to death a hundred years ago.
It turns out that when Lian Xin committed suicide by caesarean section here a hundred years ago, she used a blood-stained comb to set a blood curse: "The descendants of the Shen family have been broken in love for generations, and have no face in the mirror for generations to come." In the next hundred years, every generation of the Shen family will die mysteriously before the age of 28; and the descendants of the Gu family will also have short lives, and none of them will die well.
