Xiao Ai receives news that Qi Kun has been released and decides to flee to safety with her asthmatic son, Xiao Xin. They move to a remote mansion owned by Xiao Ai's friend and doctor, Yinan. The move marks a new start, but the shadows of the past follow them.

Xiao Ai discovers cut-out photos of a girl and her mother inside a wardrobe, hinting at the mansion's dark history. Xiao Xin finds a rag doll outside the mansion and takes to it instantly. The two discoveries set the stage for the haunting that follows.

Xiao Ai senses the doll's presence and the girl seems to haunt her, while Xiao Xin claims the girl fears his abusive mother. The tension grows as the supernatural activity targets Xiao Ai's psyche. The house feels watched, and Xiao Ai's paranoia deepens.

While trying to draft a new chapter, Xiao Ai finds a story appearing on her laptop without her input, updating every day. The tale mirrors Xiao Xin's account of a girl abused by her mother after her father left. The coincidence deepens the sense that the mansion knows their secrets.

Despite multiple attempts to dispose of the doll, it keeps materializing back in Xiao Xin's possession. The objects at the mansion seem to obey a will separate from the living. The haunting gains momentum as the doll reappears where it was supposedly discarded.

Violent hauntings escalate and Xiao Ai grows more paranoid about her son’s safety. Xiao Xin suddenly goes missing, sparking a frantic search and fear that the mansion has claimed him. The mystery ties the supernatural events to their family’s past.

Yinan calls in authorities to scour the mansion and its environs for Xiao Xin. The family’s desperation grows as no clues—and no Xiao Xin—surface. The investigation hints at a deeper link between the house and Xiao Ai’s memories.

Xiao Ai learns that the previous occupants were a girl and her mother, who killed themselves after the husband left. Rumors say the girl survived and was raised in an orphanage. The mansion’s history eerily mirrors Xiao Ai’s own unexplained amnesia.

Qi Kun arrives at the mansion, pressuring Xiao Ai to reveal Xiao Xin’s whereabouts. He reveals he researched her background, learning she was raised in an orphanage and diagnosed with amnesia and asthma. Xiao Ai’s past starts to collide with the present as old suspicions resurface.

Xiao Ai sustains a head injury and is taken toward the hospital by Yinan and Qi Kun, but a car crash forces them to return to the mansion. The accident blurs the line between danger and salvation, underscoring the fragility of everyone’s safety. Xiao Ai resolves to confront the mansion’s secrets once more.

Back at the mansion, Xiao Ai finds Qi Kun’s research documents that reveal the haunting’s true target: Xiao Ai herself as a younger girl. It becomes clear that she, not Qi Kun, is the abuser of Xiao Xin, and her amnesia has hidden this truth. She realizes she unwittingly wrote the story on her laptop through the mind of her younger self.

Her younger self guides Xiao Ai to a secret room behind the wardrobe where her mother hanged herself years ago. Xiao Ai agrees to stay at the mansion in exchange for learning Xiao Xin’s location. The deal marks a surrender to the past in hopes of saving her son.

Xiao Ai rescues Xiao Xin from danger and tries to escape the mansion. She is nearly strangled by her mother’s spirit until she finally addresses her as ‘mother,’ which makes the spirit vanish. This moment signifies a fragile reconciliation with the memories that haunted both mother and child.

Xiao Ai has moved to the mansion permanently and reflects in a monologue on how her mother and son taught her to understand family. She speaks of forgiveness and the healing that comes from accepting one’s past. The ending implies a fragile peace, even as the younger version of Xiao Ai remains trapped in the wardrobe.

A younger Xiao Ai is seen walking toward the wardrobe, where she is forcibly taken by her mother inside. The final shot implies the haunting endures, with the cycle of abuse echoing through generations. The mansion remains a trap that continues to preserve their torment.
