ShortMax3 Free Episodes

My husband had been working away for seven years. I traveled all the way to find him. But the moment I arrived, an old man stopped me and said coldly, “Derek? That’s my son-in-law.” People around him laughed, saying Derek was the town’s famous “perfect husband”—totally devoted to his wife. I froze. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Same name. Until I showed them his photo. Everyone nodded at once. “Yeah. That’s him.” My blood turned cold. No one knew I was his wife. They all thought I was some supervisor here to assign him work. Then a well-dressed woman walked up with a warm smile. “You’re here to see Derek about work, right?” “You can wait at our place. Our son has a fever—he took him to the city hospital.”

While working in the fields, Zhang Qiang and Li Xiu follow a strangely behaving weasel into an abandoned mansion in the mountains. Inside, Zhang Qiang accidentally steps on a small mound, uncovering a rosewood box containing an ancient bronze mirror. The mirror is eerie—its surface is covered in green rust and blood-red streaks, while its back bears a grotesque nuo (exorcism) mask design, exuding an unsettling aura. Despite warnings from villagers like Old Man Chen and Granny Zhang about the mansion’s curse and the mirror’s dark nature, Zhang Qiang takes it home, hoping to sell it for profit. From then on, a series of bizarre events unfold: midnight knocks with no one there, the weasel’s repeated eerie appearances, livestock dying mysteriously, and ghostly wails echoing from the village at night. Most horrifyingly, no matter where Zhang Qiang discards the mirror—whether in a river, the wilderness, or deep in the mountains—it always returns, sometimes even reappearing on village walls, surrounded by terrifying nuo mask paintings. Tormented, Zhang Qiang and Li Xiu return to the mansion at night to investigate. Shrouded in thick fog, the estate is even more sinister: scratching sounds come from the well, shadowy figures loom in the mist, and Zhang Qiang glimpses glowing eyes in the well’s depths before finding a bloody handprint on his face. Granny Zhang reveals that the mansion once belonged to a nuo dance performer, and his descendant, Erzhu, was driven mad by its dark history. Zhang Qiang stages a fake plan to melt the mirror, then lies in wait—only to catch the stalker: Erzhu, who had been pretending to be insane. Erzhu confesses that he fabricated the hauntings to protect his ancestral home and the mirror (a family heirloom meant as a dowry). The mirror’s “returns” were his doing—he secretly retrieved it and staged the creepy scenes. After Zhang Qiang apologizes sincerely, Erzhu takes the mirror away, and the disturbances finally cease.

Three Years After My Death: The World Mourns Me Now

"Dr. Wen Tianyue stood on the brink of curing two deadly pandemics when her world collapsed. After years in a secret lab, she sacrificed everything to protect the research—shattering her legs in an ambush. With her last breath, she entrusted the lifesaving formulas to Wen Shuya, the adopted sister she’d raised as her own. Shuya discarded one cure and ordered Tianyue’s torture murder. As Tianyue died bewildered in agony, Shuya carved her own skin to pose as the hero who ""rescued"" half the research. She spun a vicious lie: Tianyue had stolen the other cure, defected, and murdered a colleague. The lie became truth. Tianyue’s detective husband Huo Linye saw Shuya’s scars as proof. Her father Wen Dahai disowned her. Her son Xiaoyu learned to curse her name. For three years, Shuya reigned as a medical saint, harvesting awards while stealing Tianyue’s family—drawing Huo Linye’s parents into her web and turning Xiaoyu against his mother. Tianyue’s spirit returned to a home that worshipped her killer. She watched her son stomp on her photo, heard her father wish her erased, and saw Huo Linye—tortured by doubt yet chained to the lie—prepare to marry Shuya. When a skeleton surfaced in Tianyue’s work uniform bearing her handmade star-sign lion emblem, forensics exposed the horror: shattered legs, ripped fingernails—no traitor’s death. Only Detective Li Zhang challenged Shuya’s myth, silenced by Huo Linye at every turn. At Shuya’s UN award ceremony, as Huo Linye reached for a ring, Li Zhang crashed the stage. Restored surveillance footage streamed globally: Shuya discarding the cure, ordering the kill, and slicing her own arm with icy precision. The hero became a prisoner. At trial, Shuya spat at Huo Linye: “You loved a comfortable lie more than your bleeding truth.” The nation apologized. Tianyue received posthumous honors. But as Huo Linye knelt at her rebuilt monument, he pressed his service revolver to his temple. Tianyue’s spirit watched his blood seep into stone. Justice had come. Vindication had come. Yet the child wept between two graves. All that lingered was the echo of Shuya’s sneer—some poisons outlive their makers."
