Liang Yin was a small-time director. After seven or eight years of working himself to the bone, he was nearly thirty and still treated like a nobody.
He had to listen to the producer, the investors, and the actors. The one person he couldn't listen to was himself.
Watching a good script in his hands get changed beyond recognition, Liang Yin slammed it down and quit.
He never expected that, just after losing his job, a windfall would land in his lap.
His great-great-aunt, whom he had never met, had left him a mansion.
The mansion was far out in the suburbs of Beijing. When he drove over to see it, he discovered it was a notorious haunted house. Luckily, Liang Yin was a staunch materialist.
But before long, strange things began happening one after another.
In the middle of the night, he heard someone singing opera in the bathroom.
From the living room came the furious roar of a domineering CEO and the coy whimpering of a delicate heroine.
There was also all sorts of chattering about family life.
Furious, Liang Yin sat up. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a circle of ghosts of every sort gathered around his bed.
They gazed at him eagerly. "Director, how did we do?"
Liang Yin swallowed and silently gave them a thumbs-up.
The ghosts got excited. "Director, when do we start filming?"
Liang Yin was on the verge of tears. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Now."
Later, Liang Yin discovered that the ghosts understood human speech, didn't go off-script, were superb actors, and were even multitalented...
His ambitions of many years were perfectly realized through these ghosts, and Liang Yin was so moved he could have cried.
He tentatively uploaded their performances to a short-video platform.
As soon as they were posted, they went viral.
The sets were lifelike, the acting flawless, and every production was a masterpiece.
Then one day, all his ghosts disappeared.
A man wrapped in black mist appeared in the room.
Through the swirling smoke emerged a face so handsome it seemed to defy heaven.
Liang Yin said, "Handsome, want to act in short dramas? I'll get you a car in one day, a house in two, and riches beyond measure in three or four!"
The handsome man smiled, making the whole room seem brighter. "Those ghosts are mine, and so is this house!"
Liang Yin exclaimed, "Could you be the legendary great-great-aunt I keep hearing about?!"
