The wealthy businessman Qi Zhuo spends all his fortune to atone for his sins and chooses to accept his fated judgment. A seemingly busy steamed bun stall hides something deeply strange. Shu Yuzhou discovers a connection to anomalies involving infants not yet one month old, and the site shows no signs of life—it is not even the original crime scene.
The case is linked to over a hundred historical disappearances of women in the area, including ten female students who vanished mysteriously within a year. With surveillance largely absent and all leads broken, Shu Yuzhou teams up with police officer Pei Xun to investigate. Together, they uncover a series of interconnected cases, gradually exposing the hidden crimes buried beneath everyday life.
