During the plum rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, Shen Yan, a restorer of ancient books in Suzhou, has been able to hear the residual sounds of all things in his left ear since he was a child. He is regarded as an unlucky person. The grandmother left cryptic last words and a small wooden figurine of camphor willow before her death. The residual voice led the way and revealed the dust-laden secrets of the Shen family's bloodline.
She is the incomplete descendant of the lost forbidden art "The Art of Retribution of Camphor Willow Ear". Her left ear can communicate with the memory of ancient objects and the voices of the deceased, but it is also counterattacked by the noise and tortured day and night. In order to solve the mystery of her ancestors and get rid of the shackles of fate, she followed the clues and embarked on a cross-provincial search, from Suzhou to ancient villages in southern Anhui, deep mountains in western Zhejiang, and ancient houses in Fujian. The journey was full of dangers.
Intent: Conservation of good and evil, no good or evil in magic. The art of retribution of camphor willow ears is just a folk power passed down by blood. It can be used to appease the residual voice and trace the truth. The greed and paranoia of the human heart are the source of disaster. It is never the magic that is evil, but out-of-control desires and delusions against nature.
