The moment Gu Lingxi, a freshman in the Fine Arts Department, entered Maplewood University, the seal of her fate was quietly loosened. The unwarranted chill on the window sill, the figure in red appearing out of thin air on the sketchbook, and the looming outline of a spirit body in the crowd, all the visions indicate that she is different.
As the seal of the spiritual pupil gradually shattered, she had a glimpse of the netherworld that ordinary people could not touch. The cold and taciturn Lu Yanzhi, the direct descendant of the Zhenling clan, the cynical uncle Song Jiuyuan, and the roommate Ye Sang who bears the hatred of her mother, all break into her life one after another.
Hongshang, a famous actress who died with hatred a hundred years ago, broke out due to campus construction, and her resentment turned into red mist and enveloped the entire campus. Gu Lingxi accidentally awakened the unique "painting spirit" power, which can seal the spirit body into the painting and transform it.
From the initial fear of escaping, to facing the century-old obsession side by side with her companions, she and Lu Yanzhi uncovered the dusty truth of the soul-suppressing seal back then, and used the paintbrush as a blade to dissolve Shen Mian's resentment. And deep in the maple forest, an older existence is quietly awakening, and her road to calming the spirits has just begun.
Purpose: It revolves around the girl's supernatural growth line, explores the core propositions of obsession and redemption, conveys the core of "love and understanding are far better than cold suppression", shows the protagonist's growth arc in facing fear and walking side by side, and explores the bond between fate and self-choice.
