During the Dajing period, {Shen Qingci}, who resigned from office and returned to his hometown, lived in his ancestral home, Qingdeng House. Women often cried and ghosts walked through the old home in the middle of the night, and strange murders occurred one after another. Neighbors in the village say that the evil ghosts here are threatening their lives, and people are in panic. Shen Qingci does not believe in ghosts and gods, and relies on his wisdom to investigate and gradually uncover the secret of the woman who died unjustly and was hidden in the corpse house decades ago. As the investigation deepened, he got to know doctors, widowers, former servants and other people of all kinds, but found that behind every murder case there was someone using ghosts to commit murder, and there were layers of conspiracies. He not only wanted to break through the conspiracy in the world, but also faced the true spirit in the middle of the night, and finally found the truth deep in the ancient house, vindicated the wronged soul, and preserved peace.
