Xu Jin, a writer who trades tragedy for traffic, and Shen Yan, a restorer who obeys the rules and ignores the souls of injustice, together with four ordinary people who bear the responsibility of watching, fall into the ruins of ancient customs that have sealed thousands of years of folk injustice.
Xiantongshan Temple, Sister Weeping Blood, Rainy Night Dark Marriage, Soul Locking Ancient House... The horror legends that have been circulating for a long time are all based on the ignorance and indifference created by living people. There are no natural evil ghosts, only dead souls crushed by old customs; without the halo of the protagonist, human nature is constantly swaying, twisting, and struggling in desperate situations.
The two protagonists walk together, without love or ambiguity, only the bond of confidants in desperate situations. Some people sink in the darkness and never return, some use their lives to repay past debts, and some complete transformation with full of guilt.
After clearing away the fog of ghosts and gods, the most terrifying thing is never the dead souls, but the silence and onlookers that continue from generation to generation. In this journey of atonement, the only thing that can be redeemed in the end is the heart.
