In the foggy city of the Republic of China, strange stories about ancient paintings threatening their lives swept the city. In order to investigate the mystery of his sister's disappearance, young forensic doctor Shen Yanci teamed up with theater troupe actress Su Wanqing to break into "A Dream in the Pear Orchard" where resentment was hidden. In the painting, people walk at night, masked ghosts peel off their faces, and behind the serial disappearances in secret rooms are curses and sins that span decades. They step into the world of paintings, face Mr. Painted Skin who wears human skin as clothing, and fight to the death in the abyss of old dreams.
