Story

Yang Mingyuan has recurring nightmares of a decaying mansion, a gloomy mourning hall and eerie paper dolls. He dismisses them as a side effect of his medicine and sets off with his daughter to take her to her mother’s home. On the drive, the familiar voice from his dreams returns; after a flash of light and a crash, he wakes in an old mansion that feels both familiar and strange. Hearing his daughter calling, he follows her voice into the darkness.

The mansion stands on a wooded mountain in Beijing’s western suburbs. At the end of the Qing dynasty, it belonged to Master Yin, an aristocrat who had served the imperial court and led an army. After losing influence when power at court shifted, he withdrew from public life and built the mansion on land chosen for its feng shui. He lived there with his attendants and two disciples: the scholar Mr. Liu and the painter Zhao.

After the Mistress became pregnant, rumors spread through the household and a series of tragedies followed. Months of heavy rain came, and when the storm passed, the mansion and its inhabitants had vanished from existence and memory, along with their secrets.
