Smiling Under Lanterns

The master of the Ke Mansion has nearly gone mad recently.


The cause of the trouble was a mysterious row of wet footprints that appeared in his study.


One day, Master Ke was taking a nap in his study, and when he woke up, he found a row of wet footprints belonging to a woman inside his room. Furious, he demanded to know from the maids in the courtyard which one of them it was, but after checking everyone's feet, he couldn't find the owner of the footprints. Even those with similar footprints were working in the outer court that day, and had not even entered the room.


Unable to find the owner of the footprints, Master Ke seemed to have developed an obsession. Initially, he was convinced that a servant was playing tricks in the courtyard, but as time went on, he became as if possessed, insisting that there were ghostly disturbances in the mansion. He ignored Lady Qin's objections and insisted on inviting a Taoist to perform an exorcism.
