During the Ghost Festival, the gates of the underworld burst open, unleashing torrents of vengeful spirits upon the mortal realm. In the city of Xiuluo, chaos reigns as demonic soldiers drag souls from their bodies in the streets, turning the living world into a realm of death. Onmyoji masters Ye Wushuang and Li Feiyun are sent on a desperate mission to confront the dark forces consuming the city. But what awaits them is a terror beyond imagination — the Crimson Bride, a paper effigy dressed in blood-red silk, returning from the dead to claim her victims. When night falls, four ghostly paper figures, their faces painted with grotesque rouge and smiles torn to the ears, carry a fragile coffin through the streets without touching the ground. By dawn, only a human skin remains — folded neatly into a paper doll inside the coffin. Wherever the Crimson Bride passes, life withers; entire neighborhoods turn to paper effigies, their faces frozen in mortal terror.
