Lin Yanqiu never thought that a silver hairpin left by her grandmother would completely disrupt her peaceful life.
The full-length mirror of the rental house reflects the phantom in red late at night, the landlord suddenly changes his face and notices a rent increase, and the old flower seller on the street corner hands over a strange sachet... All the weird clues point to a "mirror market" that only exists in rumors.
When she was drawn into the long bluestone street, she discovered that every mirror here hid a secret - the woman in Hanfu was a seductive puppet, the gentle judge hid a promise that spanned a hundred years, and she herself was the last bloodline of the Su family who could awaken the "Mirror of Life".
The rules of the mirror market say that what you see may not be true, and what you hear is mostly false. But when her grandmother's remains and her second aunt's remnant soul were reflected in the mirror, and when the shadow of the storyboard spread into reality, she had to hold on to the hairpin tightly and test the edge between truth and falsehood again and again.
Chen Mo said: "Mirrors are born from the heart. It is never the mirror that traps people, but obsession."
But her obsession is to protect the judge next to her who always says "nothing is wrong", to find out the truth about how the ancestors of the Su family made the mirror three hundred years ago, and to let all the souls trapped by the mirror find their way home.
From the old house in the south of the Yangtze River to the Kunlun Snow Mountain, from the old shadows of the Republic of China to the entanglements of the present world, this is a pursuit of mirrors, and it is also a practice of redemption. When the last creation mirror shattered, Lin Yanqiu finally understood: What can penetrate all mirror shadows is never a spell or spiritual power, but the light in the heart that refuses to be extinguished.
Intention: There is light on the way home
