Rusty Rose

In Lin Wanqiu's rental house, there are always some strange things that go against common sense - upside-down sycamore leaves, bleeding copper lamps, monsters that eat shadows, and the door hidden deep in the closet that overlaps with the nightmare of the original family. As an art student who was used to covering up her melancholy with a smile, she thought that by escaping from the broken home, she could escape the shadow of her parents' death. However, she never imagined that the pain that had been forcibly forgotten was crawling back into her life along the shadow. Best friend Su Xiaoran suddenly became weird. A strange man wearing the same mole as his father appeared in the closet. A reminder message came from his home phone, and the core of all the strange things pointed to the "shadow locked" door. The Chen inkstone in the antique restoration shop is her only "driftwood". This young man, who always smells of turpentine, holds a notebook recording the "shadow rules" in his hand. He knows the secret of the lamp, and it is even related to the old news of her family twenty years ago. There was a piece missing in his shadow, like the hole in her heart that couldn't be filled. When the monster behind the door began to imitate the person she cared about most, and when the handwriting in her father's diary overlapped with the pattern of the desk lamp, Lin Wanqiu had to face the truth: the so-called "accident" was never an accident. The warning left by her mother on the back of the photo, her father's confession before his death, and the cause of Chen Yan's mother's death were all locked behind that door. And her shadow is becoming the key for the monster to open the door. Two people carrying their own pain must hold on to the knife that can cut off fate before they are swallowed by the shadows - should they push open the door, or lock it forever? The echo behind the door hides redemption and a deeper abyss.
