In the hinterland of western Hunan, hidden among the mist-shrouded mountains, there is a village that has been forgotten by the world - Yexi Village. There are countless ancient and weird folk legends circulating here. There seems to be an unfulfilled wish hidden under every bluestone slab, and every night breeze is mixed with whispering ghosts.
The male protagonist Chen Yan, a young and promising folklorist, embarks on a journey to Yexi Village because of a mysterious letter. What the letter mentioned was an ancient ritual about the "Blood Moon Sacrifice". It is said that this ritual can communicate yin and yang, but it is also accompanied by unspeakable horrific consequences. Chen Yan's trip was aimed at uncovering this mysterious veil, but he didn't know that he was stepping into a strange and dangerous world step by step.
The heroine Bai Zhi is the only girl in Yexi Village who knows ancient witchcraft. She has a pair of eyes that can see through life and death. She has been warned by the village elders since she was a child to stay away from those taboo places, but when Chen Yan's appearance disturbed the peace of the village, Bai Zhi had to violate the ancestral precepts and fight side by side with him to face the ancient resentful spirits awakened by the "Blood Moon Sacrifice".
As the investigation deepens, the two discover that Yexi Village hides a shocking secret: a hundred years ago, a curse caused by love and hatred caused the entire village to fall into an endless cycle of reincarnation. Whenever the blood moon rises, children in the village will disappear for no reason, and when they return, they are no longer themselves...
