Death is not the end, oblivion is.
Silent Yan is an ordinary mortician and a master of folklore. Three months ago, his mentor mysteriously disappeared after investigating a century-old theater building. On the first seven nights, when he was sorting out the remains of an old man in the funeral parlor, the green flames ignited the paper money, and the entire morgue instantly turned into a paper world——
[Welcome to the Folklore Forbidden Zone]
In this space formed by the obsession of the deceased, the rules are life and death:
Don't touch the red paper tie, it's a dowry for "that side"
When you hear your name being called, don't look back and don't answer.
You must find your own paper substitute before dawn and burn it
[Boundary Keepers, Assemble]
Silent Yan teamed up with three companions who were also "marked":
Agui: "The Girl from the Falling Flower Cave" who can hear the whispers of the dead souls
Zhou Muye: Using data to deconstruct weird programmers
Li Chuang: A delivery boy with lots of luck
They transform into "boundary keepers" and travel through the paper world, the mirror world, and the ancient underwater village... To resolve the obsessions of the deceased, maintain the barrier of life and death, and prevent the invasion of "that side".
[Folklore Notes·Price]
The tattoo on the back of Silent Yan's hand gives him the ability to test folk rules, but every time he uses it, he loses a memory - his mentor's face, his childhood laughter, and even... His own emotions.
The ghost marriage in Yongxing Theater, the reflection in the mirror of the department store, the 300-year-old bride sacrifice in Qinghe Village... Behind every forbidden area, there is a forgotten joy and sorrow.
The truth is far more cruel than horror.
"The reason why legends are legends is because some people believe them. And belief itself is a kind of power."
