In the first year of Qianheng in the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Liao began a long-term war dominated by territorial disputes in the Yanyun area. The Song Dynasty recruited a large number of soldiers, and all the adult men in the village went to battle together. Yun Niang's newly married husband, He Sheng, was also in the army, and He Sheng said to wait for me to come back! Yun Niang nodded silently. But the village knew that the men who were temporarily arrested were blocking front of the army, which was called a human wall, a barrier set up to protect the army.

When Yun Niang married He Sheng, He Sheng gave Yun Niang a bronze mirror, and He Sheng said to Yun Niang, "I can't give you gold and silver mountains, I can only give you all of myself. The old man said that the mirror also recognizes the owner. Whenever you think of me, when all things gather in the middle of the night, you can see me in this bronze mirror." At that time, Yun Niang just nodded. The night He Sheng left, their house turned off the lights early, and it was dim like the dust of troubled times, frightening people's hearts. The villagers did not know where Yun Niang came from and when she married He Sheng, but there was a beautiful woman in plain clothes behind He Sheng who went to work in the fields one morning. When the villagers asked about He Sheng, he just grabbed his head and said with a simple smile, "He is Yun Niang, my daughter-in-law." Yun Niang didn't talk much and rarely dealt with the villagers, but she was very kind and sympathetic to the homeless people who had fled the war.

After He Sheng left, Yun Niang still went to the ground alone and lived alone, not talking to the villagers, but every night Yun Niang's house was bright all night, and everyone thought Yun Niang would inevitably be afraid of the dark at home alone. One night and a half months later, Aunt Mo, who was close to Yun Niang's house, suddenly heard Yun Niang's terrified cry and hurriedly knocked on the door to ask. Yun Niang only said that she had nightmares, and after a few times Aunt Mo got used to it.

The first time Yun Niang saw Hesheng in the bronze mirror half a month ago that night. Under the candlelight, Yun Niang looked into the dark mirror image, and Yun Niang's thin face was reflected in the mirror. There was nothing else.

No! It's all wrong! When she looked into the mirror again, the tears she had already wiped away were still hanging on her face, which was different from her terrified expression. She had a smile inside, and the smile became deeper and more evil.

Aunt Mo's eager voice came from outside the door. Lady Yun wanted to cry, but she bit her finger tightly. She tried her best to suppress the fear and vulnerability in her heart, she knew she couldn't let anyone discover this secret, no! She tried her best to keep calm, telling Aunt Mo that she only had a nightmare and that it was fine, and Aunt Mo left after seeing that Aunt Yun was fine.

The next day, Yun Niang waited in front of the bronze mirror early, she didn't believe that last night was just an illusion, the image in the bronze mirror swayed in the beating flames, and slowly, Lotus appeared in the mirror, Yun Niang screamed, covered her mouth, and stared at Lotus in disbelief. She wanted to go up and touch Lotus, but couldn't take the first step. "Yun Niang~"   The ghostly voice in the mirror came from the underworld, stiff and cold, Yun Niang shouted, grabbed the bronze mirror and slammed it against the wall, crying out in a crash: You are not Lotus! No! That night, Yun Niang did not dare touch the slightly deformed bronze mirror on the ground, and did not dare to sleep. She shrank in bed and guarded the candle in her hand. That night, it was hope.

The next day, Lady Yun did not go out, because she did not talk to the villagers, and everyone didn't care. At night, the bronze mirror was still lying on the ground, and Lady Yun thought there would be nothing inside, this mirror is an evil thing, tomorrow, tomorrow, I should ask Aunt Mo to help throw this mirror away, she doesn't need it anymore. The night was getting darker and darker, and the bronze mirror didn't move at all, Lady Yun let out a sigh of relief, and suddenly, the ghost's voice drifted coldly in the air, with a hint of a smile, "My Lady Yun, what's wrong with you?", Lady Yun jumped up and stared at the bronze mirror in disbelief, and at this time, something in the bronze mirror seemed to want to break through from it, and it made a sound of copper pieces cracking. "Who! Who is it... "Yun Niang frantically dodged in the room, as if there was a transparent enemy in the air, she threw everything that could be blocked at the bronze mirror, crying bitterly," Don't scare me, don't scare me... Who are you...? "." Yun Niang, I said I want to give you all of myself, have you forgotten? Hehe "" I don't want it! I don't want it! Hesheng? Is it you?... If it's really you, please... don't scare me... "Yun Niang was like a frightened cat, hunched over in the corner and shivering.

"Scared? Hehe" The ghost voice still floated in the air, wrapping Yun Niang's whole body "Don't be afraid, Yun Niang, I'm here to pick you up..." No! Yun Niang couldn't take it anymore and rushed out of the room with a shout, the lost soul ran while screaming, a black shadow followed closely behind Yun Niang, chasing, Yun Niang staggered and tripped over the stone during the run, watching the black shadow getting closer and closer in despair and desolation, Yun Niang gave up struggling and roared at the black shadow, "Where is my brother! Where!, Your death was caused by you! It's you! He Sheng! It's none of my business... it's none of my business" Yun... mother... you...? " The black shadow was Aunt Mo." She heard Hesheng's cry and saw Lady Yun running desperately as soon as she went out. She was afraid that something would happen to Lady Yun, so she chased after her.

He Sheng's body was found in the house. The place where He Sheng's body was buried was originally the place where He Sheng dug up to build a bath for Yun Niang. Yun Niang loved to be clean, and He Sheng couldn't bear to walk far to the river every day to bathe, so he wanted to build one for Yun Niang at home. Before it was completed, it was buried here by Yun Niang herself. According to Yun Niang's explanation, the night before the expedition, Yun Niang asked Hesheng to return the jade pendant he had put in his place to her, because she knew that this visit might be a farewell forever, and life would be difficult to maintain in the future, but Hesheng was unwilling to hand over Yun Niang's jade pendant. He wanted to come back alive, and Yun Niang accidentally inserted the wooden hairpin on her head into Hesheng's neck. The next day, Yun Niang went to the ground to farm as usual, and the village thought that Hesheng had set off with the army. It wasn't that Yun Niang said that she had wrongly killed people that night, and everyone thought that Hesheng was still on the front line, alive or dead.

On the day when Yun Niang sank into the river, the sun shone brightly in the sky that had been hazy for a long time. Yun Niang was escorted forward. She raised her head greedily and sucked in the breath of the sun, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. With a splash of water, a moment later, the river returned to calm, leaving only ripples. People cursed and dispersed, and with the footsteps of the distance, the name Yun Niang will also fade in people's memory, forever.

Yunniang, who was underwater, gradually sank to the bottom of the water. She did not struggle or shout, and kept raising the corners of her mouth, recalling the past: Three years ago, Yunniang escaped with her younger brother everywhere, and fell down the hillside with her younger brother when she was on her way. When she woke up, she found that it was He Sheng who saved her, but she could no longer find her younger brother. He Sheng said that he was out on errands, and when he passed by the foot of the mountain, he found Yunniang lying unconscious alone, so he rescued her. Yunniang was very grateful to He Sheng, but she insisted on saying goodbye to find her younger brother. He Sheng left Yunniang on the grounds that Yunniang's body had not recovered. Yunniang was indeed weak. Since the accident at home and the escape of her younger brother, she had not rested for a long time, so Yunniang stayed in HeSheng's house to raise her body. Yun Niang was afraid that if the time was too long, her younger brother would go far away, so she gave the jade pendant she had with her to He Sheng and asked him to look for it, saying that there was a piece of jade pendant on her younger brother that was exactly the same as her, and with this, she could find her younger brother. He Sheng went out every day to help Yun Niang find her younger brother, while Yun Niang stayed at home to recuperate, but half a month later, there was still no news of her younger brother. Yun Niang decided to go on the road to find her younger brother, and on the day of farewell, He Sheng said that you would leave tomorrow. I will prepare a good meal for you to see you off, and you will treat it as my return, Yun Niang promised.

That night, Hesheng hurried home and told Yunniang that his younger brother had found him! Hesheng said that when he passed by a hunter's house to ask for water, he found that it was not far from where Yunniang fell, so he asked the hunter if he had seen an injured teenager. Hunter immediately said that half a month ago, a teenager with injuries all over his body passed out in front of his house, muttering "sister...", and then he was unconscious. The doctor came and said that there was nothing he could do, and soon the teenager died. When the hunter buried the teenager, he saw the jade pendant hanging on his body, thinking about burying him together, so that he would no longer suffer from the turbulence of the next life, and he would have no worries about food and clothing. Now it seems that he is Yunniang's younger brother. Yun Niang cried bitterly for a whole night and stayed at He Sheng's house ever since. He Sheng took care of Yun Niang in every way, but Yun Niang became more and more silent day by day, occasionally staring at He Sheng silently with vicious eyes, only she knew that He Sheng was lying! Since his younger brother had a bad heart, the jade pendant never hung on his body, and his mother tied it around his neck with red thread and hid it in his clothes to protect his heart.

Yun Niang wanted to stay and find out what happened to her brother, why did He Sheng lie! Until the night before He Sheng left, Yun Niang was afraid that He Sheng would never be able to return once he was gone, and his brother could not disappear so innocently. She couldn't wait to inquire, she, there was no time. Yun Niang, who had been indifferent to herself for years, suddenly asked He Sheng to accompany him to drink a few glasses of wine, and He Sheng agreed. After a few glasses of wine, He Sheng said more, Yun Niang asked where He Sheng's jade pendant came from, and He Sheng suddenly became vigilant, repeating the words of the day, Yun Niang buried the seeds of hatred in her heart getting bigger and bigger, and finally put the wooden hairpin in her hand against He Sheng's neck, "Don't lie to me! I looked for it at the address you mentioned, and there are no hunters at all! You say! How did the jade pendant come from?

He grabbed Yun Niang's hand with one hand to counter her, and tightly grabbed Yun Niang's neck with the other. He said word by word, "Yes! Without Hunter, everything is fake, so what! Do you think I have a useless fugitive? You and that kid are lying at the foot of the mountain. I don't think he has much breath, just... you... what's in the wine?" Lotus was getting weaker and weaker, and he fell on the table and knocked over the candlestick. In the darkness, Yun Niang gasped for breath, and before she could react, she staggered on the ground and groped for the wooden hairpin and plunged fiercely into Lotus's neck.

She still lost the news of her brother, so she tried to look for Hesheng in the mirror, but in the end she got nothing. She never knew Hesheng buried his brother when he was still alive. As he said, his brother was useless to him, and his kindness to him was that he would not let him be exposed to the wilderness.

Everything passed, and even the bronze mirror disappeared from people's vision. Who was right and who was wrong.
