Ming Dynasty , there was a widow named Lin Shiyin who relied on two acres of land to make a living. When he was busy in the field, a seriously injured donkey came towards her and returned home with her. He stayed in the shed every day and refused to leave. Lin Shiyin is kind-hearted and has already bandaged the donkey's wound.
After the donkey's injury healed, he was listless all day and suddenly died of depression on a quiet night. After Lin Shiyin was kindly buried, she had a strange dream. In the dream, the donkey stood in front of her and claimed that he was Lin Shiyin's husband Ling Mofeng.
Things start from half a year ago. At that time, Lin Shiyin was not only as beautiful as a flower, but also dressed up. She packed up every day and wandered around, attracting a group of young men. One of them was Shen Tu Hong, who was over thirty and had not gotten married. He was Lin Shiyin's neighbor and was a bit greedy and lustful.
Since Shen Tu Hong learned that Lin Shiyin's home lives next door, he has come to his house to bother him every day, and sends some food from time to time, rouge gouache to please Lin Shiyin. However, Lin Shiyin is married and wants to keep a distance from the man outside. He did not accept Shen Tu Hong's gift, and repeatedly advised him not to come to the house again.
But Lin Shiyin's words had no effect on Shen Tu Hong. She closed the door and the door was locked. Shen Tu Hong would still climb over the wall first and then jump into the window.
Ling Mofeng is a businessman. He has rarely been home for half a year. As soon as he arrived home in the evening, he heard Lin Shiyin's crying. Shen Tuhong wanted to do something wrong to her. Ling Mofeng was so angry that he broke two tea bowls and was about to sue him in the next day.
In the middle of the night, Lin Shiyin got up at night to go to the thatched cottage. When she came back, she found a man in black in the room with thick rouge and powder on his face. She picked up a sharp knife and stabbed it on the bed. After the matter, she turned the window and left home. With the faint moonlight, Lin Shiyin could vaguely tell that the man in black was Shen Tu Hong.
When Lin Shiyin walked to the bed, she found that Ling Mofeng on the bed had died. She lay on Ling Mofeng heartbrokenly and cried bitterly. Thinking back on everything that had just happened, it was probably Shen Tu Hong who wanted to possess her, but because Ling Mofeng failed to get her wish, she killed Ling Mofeng.
The next day, Lin Shiyin told the county magistrate everything she witnessed and asked him to uphold justice. The county magistrate ordered Shen Tu Hong to be arrested on the spot, but due to the lack of physical evidence, Shen Tu Hong could only be taken to the cell first.
Shen Tu Hong thought that he painted his face, and no one could tell his identity, but he unexpectedly was recognized by Lin Shiyin. He didn't know what to do now. At this time, his cousin Chu Qianli came to visit the prison cell. When he learned about Shen Tu Hong’s actions, he hated him deeply, but they were close friends after all, and Chu Qianli wanted to rescue Shen Tu Hong.
There is a robber in the village where Chu Qianli is located. He burned, killed, robbed and committed all kinds of evil. He was arrested by the county government a few days ago. Chu Qianli found the robber in the cell and claimed that he would give the robber his wife and children fifty taels of silver and let them live a good life. The robbers just need to take the initiative to admit in front of the county magistrate that he killed Ling Mofeng.
The robber himself is a death row prisoner and doesn't mind being punished first. Moreover, he loves his wife and children, so he agreed to Chu Qianli's request. According to Chu Qianli's statement, he told the crime process in front of the county magistrate. The county magistrate believed it and released Shen Tu Hong. After the release of
Shen Tu Hong restrained a little and no longer disturbed Lin Shiyin, but he would still go to Lin Shiyin's house. Every time he took advantage of the late night and Ling Mofeng was not alive, so it was much more convenient for him to do it.
However, after his death, Ling Mofeng was full of resentment, and his soul kept wandering in the world. When he bumped into the body of a donkey, he entered the donkey and returned to Lin Shiyin, and took the opportunity to teach Shen Tuhong a lesson. Every time Shen Tuhong came home in the middle of the night, the donkey would knock Shen Tuhong to the ground, chase him all over the yard, making Shen Tuhong dare not show up.
But this way of chasing Shen Tuhong is quite physically exhausted. The donkey is exhausted and listless every time. The donkey feels that this is not a solution, so he decided to take action first, sneak into Shen Tuhong's home, chase Shen Tuhong and accidentally fell into the dry well, and died.
Now all the resentment in Ling Mofeng's body has been dissolved. His soul cannot continue to stay in the world, so he is ready to come out of the donkey's body and go to the underworld to reincarnate. Before leaving, he said goodbye to Lin Shiyin. After
1 episode, Lin Shiyin woke up from her dream and shed tears on her face. The next day, she went to the dry well to check and found Shen Tu Hong's body.
The villagers took out Shen Tu Hong's body and found a place to bury him.
In fact, after the donkey became listless, Lin Shiyin had secretly observed the donkey and found that the donkey was contradicting Shen Tu Hong, including Shen Tu Hong bullying other women outside.
After that, Lin Shiyin stayed at home and did not go out until she was necessary. She cut off contact with the man outside. It was not until the three-year mourning period that she found a carpenter to remarry.
