There are three rules in Taiping Town:
One, don't go out after midnight.
Second, the locust trees never look back.
Third, don't try the wedding dress from the embroidery shop.
Shen Yao was fished out of the locust tree forest. Everyone said that she had a tough life—she had been frozen for three days and three nights, and yet she was still breathing.
No one knows why she came back. No one knows that her soul contains the biggest secret from thousands of years ago.
The people in Taiping Town are very polite, kind and well-behaved. It's just that a woman disappears every year, a paper substitute lies on every wedding bed, and the Buddha statues in every temple have their eyes closed.
Shen Yao said: That is not a rule, that is eighty-one graves. In every grave lies a truth that no living person dares to recognize.
She is a waste of spiritual roots, unable to cultivate immortality or conquer demons. But she could see those "debts" - entrenched in the old house, entangled in the wedding dress, and settled at the bottom of the well.
Some say she is here to solve the case.
Some say she came to die.
Only Shen Yao knew that she was here to collect a debt that was owed for thousands of years.

Xie Guanlan, the holy son in front of Qingyun Temple, has read all the Taoist canons in the world, but he still can't understand his own dream. In the dream he was holding a sword and standing in front of a woman. The woman's face was exactly the same as Shen Yao's.
He knew he should stay away from her.
But every time she walked towards those cannibal piles, he would follow her.
He was the one destined to kill her.
