Yin and Yang

Qingping City is home to a notorious haunted house. They say anyone who moves in won’t live to see the next day. Rumors abound, and hauntings never stop. The government has sealed it off several times, but thrill-seeking streamers still sneak in. The next day, they’re found dead outside the house, and there’s always a photo of a red-clad vengeful ghost in their album.

Shen Qingwei is invited to Qingping City with a group of feng shui masters to investigate. There really is a vengeful ghost, and it’s difficult to subdue. Shen Qingwei insists on staying in the haunted house that night. The other feng shui masters are horrified. On the way back, they lament that someone so beautiful is going to meet her end in that house.

The next day, they hurry back to the house, expecting to find Shen Qingwei dead at the door. Instead, the beautiful woman is sitting in the dining room, calling inside, “Hurry up! Is it ready yet? Are you making a full Manchu-Han banquet for breakfast?”

They look in and see a vengeful ghost in a red dress standing in the kitchen, head bowed and shoulders hunched, trembling as she makes breakfast.
