Female forensic doctor Lin Xia took over a bizarre murder case. The deceased was a young woman. The cause of death was cardiac arrest, but there were no external injuries on the body. The deceased was holding an antique dressing mirror in his hand, with the words "1927" engraved on the frame. As the investigation deepens, Lin Xia discovers that this mirror comes from the Republic of China and once belonged to a wealthy lady named Su Wan. In the past thirty years, a similar murder has occurred every ten years. The victims were all young women, holding this mirror in their hands.
During the investigation, Lin Xia gradually discovered that her family is inextricably linked to Su Wan. Her mother, Su Yuqing, was Su Wan's great-granddaughter and died fighting against domestic violence. Lin Xia's childhood trauma intertwines with Su Wan's tragedy, forcing her to confront the pain of her past.
In the end, Lin Xia revealed the truth: Su Wan was buried alive because she resisted the marriage arranged by her family, and her resentment was attached to the mirror. Every ten years, the mirror will look for a woman similar to Su Wan as a substitute. Lin Xia must find a way to resolve Su Wan's resentment before the next ten years, otherwise she will become the next victim.
