Buried Debt

Orphan Li Yi's inheritance money—compensation from his deceased parents—was seized by his paternal uncle's family, who abused him relentlessly since childhood. After five grueling years of backbreaking labor with his girlfriend, he saved up 100,000 yuan for their wedding—only to have it violently snatched away by his uncle's family, who then forced upon him a derelict ancestral house as 'payment' and left him unconscious in the mud. As he lay bleeding, his blood dripped into a dried-up well—accidentally awakening what had lain dormant for centuries.
