The Mistress of the Paper Effigy Shop

The Mistress of the Paper Effigy Shop Plot:

In the depths of an old alley sits "Guixu Paper Effigy Shop," where Lin Wan, the mistress who’s guarded it for twenty years, harbors a secret—her paper figurines emit faint spirit fire at midnight. Everything changes when Chen Mo, an art student, rents the attic across the street. This boy, who always stares at the paper effigies in a daze, can actually hear them "speak"—and he looks exactly like Zhou Shen, her missing boyfriend. When Chen Mo finds Zhou Shen’s old diary, and when the paper effigies start guiding them to clues, the forbidden art hidden in the paper, Lin Wan’s obsession of binding herself to the shop to save Zhou Shen, and her truth of "not aging for twenty years" all slowly entangle their fates with the scent of paper.
