"After the deaths of her parents, Su Qingqing, daughter of a merchant family in Great Xia, is taken in by her uncle’s household in Nanzhou Prefecture. Facing financial ruin, her uncle forces her into marriage during her mourning period to fund his son’s wedding. Fleeing the arrangement, Su Qingqing disrupts the imperial procession of Emperor Xiao He, who—moved by her plight and reminded of his beloved Shen Min’s similar hardships—grants her a token of favor, permitting her to serve in the palace after her filial mourning ends. Misinterpreting the emperor’s compassion as romantic interest, Su Qingqing storms the palace with two friends, Zhao Jiaojiao and Fang Yuanyuan, expelling court ladies, presiding over morning court from the throne, executing officials, and appointing her unqualified friends as Ministers of Revenue and War. Her reckless actions escalate: she castrates the Crown Prince of Great Liang, sabotages a diplomatic marriage alliance, and declares war on multiple nations in front of both emperors. A bedridden Emperor Xiao He watches helplessly as Su Qingqing seizes the throne, humiliates his uncle Prince Yu with the imperial disciplinary rod, and later deposes the Dowager Empress, sending her and the true empress Shen Min to a brothel. When Great Liang invades in retaliation, Su Qingqing’s disastrous ""campaign""—a lavish sightseeing tour—ends in her capture and the annihilation of 100,000 troops. To save herself, she betrays Great Xia, leading the enemy army to the capital. Only Emperor Xiao He’s last-minute recovery and heroic speech rally the people to repel the invaders. Su Qingqing is sentenced to marry a Xiongnu chieftain as punishment, while her accomplices are publicly executed. "

The story begins when Xiaoshuai, a villager, notices that his six-year-old rooster, ""Golden Voice,"" has started crowing incessantly at midnight, shattering the peace of the village. Soon after, a series of bizarre events unfold—chains dragging on the ground, ""blood"" seeping from the stone bridge, dead fish floating in the river, unexplained red marks appearing on villagers, and livestock dying with eerie green eyes. Panic spreads like wildfire. Rumors quickly point to Golden Voice as the harbinger of doom. Xiaoshuai’s wife, Xiaomei, pleads with him to kill the rooster, and the villagers collectively pressure him. But Xiaoshuai refuses to believe his beloved rooster is to blame and sets out to uncover the truth. His investigation leads him to mysterious footprints by the river, specially made black ropes, and a terrifying incident where Xiaomei is attacked and disappears. Teaming up with the village chief, Xiaoshuai lays a trap—only to expose the real culprit: their neighbor, Auntie Er. Driven to madness by sleepless nights due to Golden Voice’s crowing, she orchestrated the entire horror show—mimicking rooster calls, poisoning the river, fabricating ""supernatural"" signs, and spreading rumors—all to manipulate the villagers into forcing Xiaoshuai to kill the rooster. In the end, Auntie Er breaks down in remorse, and the truth is revealed: every ""supernatural"" event was a carefully crafted hoax.
