During the Yuan Dynasty, a man named Qian Haotian lived in a family surnamed Qian in Chuzhou. This young master has been favored since he was a child, and his status as the only seedling in the family has made him develop an arrogant and domineering character. However, as time passed, Qian Haotian's life began to change strangely. The early twenties were supposed to be a time for a young man to flourish, however, his hair turned pale at this stage, and his body fell into a series of strange convulsions.
Master Qian felt his son's strange phenomenon and decided to introduce him to a family affair, hoping that the strange things in Qian Haotian could be diluted through marriage. However, on the day of the wedding, an unbelievable change occurred. The bride Rong Ying suddenly broke into the Qian Mansion with a coffin, which surprised everyone. The coffin became the bride's dowry, and Rong Ying claimed that it was a mysterious item that could help Qian Haotian improve his current situation. To solve this bizarre mystery, we had to go back two years.
After Qian Haotian returned home after a year of traveling in the mountains, he woke up in the dead of night every night, his body seemed to be tormented by the invisible yin qi, and the pain made him think about tea and dinner, and the whole person became thin and weak. Faced with such a pitiful situation for his son, Master Qian felt helpless and decided to seek help from a master. However, everyone couldn't see through the root of the problem, and the evil talisman attached to Qian Haotian's bed was even more ineffective. In desperation, Master Qian decided to follow his friend's advice and hoped to give Qian Haotian joy through marriage.
Under the arrangement of Master Qian, Qian Haotian met a girl named Rong Ying. Rong Ying came from an extraordinary background, and his family believed in expounding teachings, and he was quite accomplished in Taoism. The relationship between the two gradually warmed up, and they finally decided to get engaged. On the day of the wedding, behind the dressed bride Rong Ying, a group of people carried a pitch-black coffin. Rong Ying mysteriously claimed that this was her dowry, which was enough to help Qian Haotian get rid of the yin qi on his body. The father and son of the Qian family were overjoyed when they heard this, and happily accepted the dowry. This sudden strange phenomenon made the wedding instantly shrouded in a strange atmosphere, which made everyone present stunned.
After accepting the mysterious coffin brought by Rong Ying, Qian Haotian's life seemed to usher in a period of peace. Every night, he lay down in the coffin made of lightning-struck jujube wood, feeling the peace and comfort that he had not felt for a long time. However, the tricks of fate are often unexpected. One early morning half a year later, Rong Ying went to wake up Qian Haotian, but was surprised to find that he had died in that coffin. Qian Haotian's death was very miserable, his limbs were twisted, his face was hideous, and his eyes were wide open. Shockingly, when his body was removed, it was found that there was a centipede's body at the bottom of the coffin, and the coffin had been gnawed out of a hole by the centipede.
At the same time that the cause of Qian Haotian's death became the focus of everyone's speculation, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed into the Qian Mansion. They arrested Qian Haotian on the charge of murder, and as the interrogation deepened, the truth gradually became revealed. Years ago, Qian Haotian was accompanied by a killer and participated in the mutilation of an innocent girl in a brutal incident. This crime became a curse on the girl's soul and caused all sorts of strange phenomena.
After learning the truth, Rong Ying felt deeply saddened and guilty. In order to put an end to all this, she resolutely set fire to the thunderbolt jujube coffin that had brought strange tranquility, and left the Qian Mansion without hesitation.
