share time: 2026-04-08 06:15:59

To pay off the tens of millions in debts left by her late father, ordinary office worker Su Xiao signs a mysterious vigil contract out of desperation. The contract promises full payment if she stays by the deceased’s coffin for the entire first seven days after death. She moves into a spooky suburban old mansion to keep vigil. Only cold drafts and unexplained noises plague her first two nights, but on the third night, she runs into her father’s old friend at the memorial hall, who recognizes her ancestral jade pendant. This pendant is tied to an unsolved decade-old case and the deceased’s bizarre death. Every night’s strange visions push her to uncover the buried truth, but breaking the contract will double her debts. Su Xiao has no choice but to keep vigil and dig for the hidden truth step by step.
