An ancient shrine on Qingluo Mountain holds a thousand-year-old forbidden ghost marriage.
Following her ancestors' instructions, the shaman Wen Ling drapes a scarlet bridal robe over the bone bride, Xie Yan.
Through cycle after cycle of reincarnation, she should forget everything as soon as the ceremony ends. But in this life, the curse has weakened, allowing her to uncover the deception of the ancestral spirits.
The ancestral spirits feed on the shamans' souls through ghost marriages. They have met and forgotten each other thirteen times over thirteen lifetimes.
The red-clad bone spirit Xie Yan has been trapped here for a thousand years. She is willing to shatter her bones and disperse her baleful energy, all to preserve the memories of Wen Ling in every life.
An ancient mirror from three lifetimes ago holds a fate that has not been altered. The shaman and the bone bride join hands to defy fate and break the deadlock, binding their souls in a pact and wagering on a love that will never be forgotten.
Theme: Love can break through the illusion of fate, and two people moving toward each other fear neither life nor death. Obsession is not always a path to freedom. Even knowing the ending will be tragic, they are still willing to defy fate for each other.
