Yao Shouning thinks she may be possessed.
Lately, she's been having nightmares one after another. First, she dreams that her aunt dies, then that her cousin, disguised as the monster from a storyteller's tale, knocks on her door.
But her mother says, "There are no monsters in this world. People are simply ignorant and misled by legends."
Then, in the very next moment, the nightmare comes true.
She sees her cousin dressed in mourning, bringing news of her aunt's death, looking exactly as she did in the dream.
She hears another voice hidden within her cousin's body, one filled with deep malice toward her.
A handsome young man saves her mother, only to have a strange black aura burrow into his body.
Nothing is as her mother said it would be.
Not long after these events, Yao Shouning hears the rumor that the young heir of the Grand Princess's household has suddenly gone mad.
