Follow the Yin and Yang, Paper Maker

"Paper Maker" One sentence introduction: When you stare at the paper man, the paper man is also staring at you. I inherited my ancestral business and made paper in the middle of the night, but with my own hands I turned a life-size paper man into a living thing... In order to make a living, Chen Yuan reluctantly inherited the papermaking shop left by his grandfather. He thought it was just a livelihood, until late at night during the Ghost Festival, a mysterious woman in black knocked on the door of the store and ordered a life-size paper man made for a high price of 30,000 yuan. Behind the transaction, there are weird rules that give chills to the spine: making it at midnight, burning only white candles, reciting the death mantra to the bones, and humming a requiem on paper. Chen Yuan wanted to refuse, but the embarrassment of reality made him bow his head. He strictly followed the requirements, and for seven late nights, under the flickering candlelight, he made a paper figure with his own hands that resembled the woman in form and spirit. On the seventh night, when he put cinnabar mixed with unknown bone powder into the eye sockets of the paper man - the candle suddenly went out and darkness fell. He heard the breathing of a second man in the darkness. When the candlelight came back on, the pale paper man's mouth slowly opened towards him, revealing a strange and vivid smile. From then on, strange things happened frequently around Chen Yuan. The footsteps in the middle of the night, the white shadow flashing in the mirror, and the paper man who seemed to be alive and "watching" him all the time... He realized that the finishing touch of the night might not be the end, but the opening of a taboo door that should not be touched, anchoring an "existence" beyond imagination around him.
