Famine ravages the Great Liang Dynasty as rogue Li Chen transmigrates into ancient times, becoming a nameless scholar. When his ragged sister-in-law, Yu'er, comes pleading for grain, Li Chen passionately cries, "Sister, open the door, I am your brother!" Yu'er recoils in terror—her husband lies buried in a barren mound, and she suspects an imposter. Trapped inside and out, doubts about identity surge. Li Chen recounts intimate past details to prove himself, but unwittingly uncovers the mystery of his brother's bizarre death. A tattered letter emerges, exposing family grudges and a greed-driven plot, with shadowy puppeteers lurking. Will the grain be lent to avert doom? When the door opens, will truth prevail or traps be sprung? This suspense-filled historical mini-drama plunges viewers into a tempest of emotion, betrayal, and wit. (182 words)
