The White Girl at the Coffin Shop

At the end of the alley in Qingxi Town of the Dajing Dynasty, there was a coffin shop that no one dared to enter casually. Lin Wanniang, the proprietress of the shop, always wears a red dress embroidered with black lace, and her hair is as white as snow that has fallen all her life. Bizarre murders occurred one after another in the town: a few days after the young woman disappeared, she would lie in Lin Wanniang's coffin with a smile on her face. Her body was not rotten and her face was lifelike. Zhao Hu, the head catcher in Qingxi Town, did not believe in evil and gritted his teeth to investigate the case, but step by step he fell into the century-old evil scheme of the "Coffin Keeper" - Lin Wanniang was not a living person at all. She used magic to trap the souls of living people in coffins to nourish her body. The red dress was woven from the hair of the deceased, and the white hair was the backlash after absorbing the yang energy. Every thirty years, she must find a woman with the exact same birthday as hers to be a "red dress substitute" in order to live for hundreds of years. The more Zhao Hu investigated, the more frightened he became, but he also got deeper and deeper: he was first induced by Lin Wanniang's ecstasy fragrance to hallucinate, and saw with his own eyes the smiling "living dead" lying in the densely packed coffins deep in the underground palace; then he discovered that his biological sister happened to be the next substitute Lin Wanniang was looking for. The peach wood sword, dog blood, and soul-calming bell left behind by the old Taoist priest before his death became his only life-saving charms. During the decisive battle in the underground palace, Zhao Hu discovered that what lay in Lin Wanniang's natal coffin was actually her own corpse - it turned out that she had died hundreds of years ago, and used magic to nail her soul into a red dress, becoming a half-human, half-ghost "evil in the coffin."
