Seven years ago, Zhaoshui Town held a ceremony to invite the lantern god. Shen Zhaowei was selected as the "lantern body" and has since disappeared from the family tree and household registration.
Seven years later, she returned to the ancient town as a folk restorer to repair the cracked statue of the Deng Niang in the ancestral hall. But before the statue was repaired, people died in the town.
Old cases of river lanterns demanding lives, paper man substitutes, empty houses near the river, and red wedding dresses emerged one after another. Every murder case follows a folk taboo and also points to a missing wish book.
Shen Zhaowei must break the rules between wishes, price and death, and retrieve his erased memory.
She gradually discovered that the so-called divine punishment was not traceable.
What is really scary may not be that the gods open their eyes, but that someone has already written everyone's life into the wish book.
