00:00When a young man first visited his girlfriend's parents, he discovered their memorial portraits

00:03displayed on the table. Not only were their lips completely colorless, but they were also dressed

00:08in clothing from over a century ago. After asking, he learned that the portraits were of his fiance's

00:12grandparents. His future father-in-law quickly changed the subject, saying that the young man

00:16must be exhausted from his journey and should rest immediately. Then the housekeeper brought him a

00:20cup of. When a young man lifted the lid, he was startled to see a large spider. The sight made the

00:25hairs on his neck stand on end. Seeing this, his girlfriend hurried forward to comfort him. His

00:29future mother-in-law explained that they lived in the mountains, so small insects often crawled

00:33inside. It must have been that the housekeeper was lazy and forgot to close the window, but the young

00:37man sensed that something was wrong, because the housekeeper's very first words upon seeing him were,

00:41what a pity. That evening, puzzled, the young man went to his room, and his girlfriend brought him

00:46an oil lamp, claiming that there was no electricity in the house, and they could only use the lamp for

00:49now. Earlier that day, she had mentioned their marriage to her parents, and her parents said he

00:53should stay a few more days to discuss the details. Upon hearing this, the young man became excited,

00:58unaware that even more peculiar events were about to unfold. The next morning, just after waking up,

01:03he saw the housekeeper kneeling on the floor, holding two bowls of tea on her head. The young

01:06man asked the housekeeper what had happened. The housekeeper said she was being punished for not

01:10doing her job properly. The young man planned to go to his future father-in-law to plead on the

01:14housekeeper's behalf. But before he could leave the room, the housekeeper called out to him and gave

01:18him three pieces of advice. She told him never to go to the villa's backyard. The second piece of advice

01:23was to explore the attic, where he would find a secret he wanted to know. The third piece of advice

01:27was to under no circumstances share a room with his girlfriend, where he would surely meet his

01:30death. The housekeeper said that as long as the young man survived seven days, he could leave.

01:35After giving him the three warnings, the young man looked full of doubt. The housekeeper said that

01:38that night, he would be awakened. By the clanking of chains, and his future mother-in-law's scolding,

01:43his fiancé would sneak into his room, wearing a red robe, and offer him a glass of red watermelon juice.

01:47The housekeeper warned him not to drink it under any circumstances. That night, just as the young

01:51man slept soundly, he suddenly heard the sound of clinking chains, mingled faintly with voices shouting

01:56insults. Instantly, the young man was fully awake, remembering the housekeeper's words. He got out

02:01of bed to see what was happening outside the window. Just then, his girlfriend tapped him on

02:05the shoulder from behind. Sure enough, she was wearing a red nightgown and holding a glass of

02:08watermelon juice. This sight terrified the young man. He said he was too sleepy to drink it, and he

02:13rolled over and crawled back under the covers. At breakfast the next day, his future mother-in-law handed

02:17the young man a bowl of rib soup. After taking a sip, he discovered a fingernail in the soup. He felt

02:22nauseated at once. Soon the housekeeper came over and explained that she had cut her hand while

02:26chopping vegetables. And that was how the fingernail fell into the soup. Seeing the

02:30housekeeper's wound, the young man sensed something was off, because the wound looked fresh and could

02:34not have been the source of a fallen nail. Late at night, halfway through his sleep, the young man

02:37suddenly felt thirsty. And grogily, his girlfriend brought him a glass of watermelon juice. By the time

02:42he realized what was happening, he had already taken a sip. In the next moment, he drifted into

02:46unconsciousness. When he woke again, it was already the next day. But as he was going downstairs,

02:51the housekeeper noticed that he had drunk the watermelon juice last night. When a young man looked in the

02:55mirror, he saw his brow was dark and panicked. He hurriedly asked the house for help. But she only

02:59told him to run. The young man fled the house in disarray. But he had barely gotten the car when his

03:04girlfriend found him. Seeing the woman he knew so well, all he felt was fear. Then he pretended

03:08everything was normal and returned to the room. As soon as he entered, he sought the housekeeper's

03:12help. The housekeeper told him it was already too late and that if he wanted to live, he must follow

03:16the second piece of advice. Recalling what the housekeeper had said, the young man tiptoed up to the

03:21attic. Because the housekeeper had said the attic held the secrets of the villa and the family,

03:25including the young man's own secret. When he opened the door, he was stunned.
