Dad Is Waiting for You Home
This family drama is about a father's redemption, twisted family bonds, and the truth that good always wins over evil. It follows Li Anfu, a kind, humble working-class father. After his wife's betrayal, his children's abduction, and a permanent disability, he spends twenty long years searching for his family. Through humiliation, misunderstanding, violence, and life-or-death trials, he finally uncovers the conspiracy, protects his loved ones, and reunites his broken family. The story begins on a stormy night. Li Anfu, a migrant construction worker, is doing dangerous labor at the site just to pay for his three children's school fees. Meanwhile, his wife He Xiufen is having an affair with her lover Wang Zhenmin. Blinded by greed, they stuff their three children — Li Yuting, Li Meng, and Li Jian — into burlap sacks. Lying that the bundles contain "farm piglets," they sell their own children to human traffickers. When Li Anfu comes home in the rain to find his children gone, he chases the traffickers on his motorcycle with all his strength. Wang Zhenmin deliberately crashes into him, breaking his right leg and leaving him permanently disabled. Clutching only the necklace his daughter dropped, Li Anfu begins his long, painful search. For twenty years, Li Anfu rides his worn-out motorcycle with missing-child flags across thousands of towns. He sleeps rough, endures scorn and hardship, tattoos his children's names on his back, and fills notebook after notebook with every clue he finds. By fate, he adopts an abandoned girl named Li Mengxue. The two lean on each other as father and daughter. Quietly building his life from nothing, Li Anfu eventually builds the Li's Group — all to give his child a stable home.

The Cursed Bronze Mirror
Electrician Wang Lei returns to his remote mountain village to visit his grandmother, Chen Xiulian, who has been acting strangely. On the very night he arrives, he stumbles upon the village's eerie taboo: a bronze mirror hanging on a locust tree at the village entrance. Legend says anyone who looks into it will be cursed. His grandmother's ramblings, the village chief's warnings, and the villagers' hostility all point back to one woman — Lin Wanlian, who hanged herself at the village supply station twenty years ago. Ever since, stories of a vengeful spirit in the mirror and a ghost haunting the well have haunted the entire village. Wang Lei doesn't believe in superstition. He's determined to find the truth. But a string of terrifying events awaits him: shattered mirrors thrown into his house, strange shadows on his night-time surveillance footage, and a woman's face appearing in the well water. Every sign suggests the curse has come for him. During his investigation, Wang Lei finds an ancient bronze mirror hidden under his grandmother's bed — one linked to Lin Wanlian. Inside the wall, he discovers another dressing mirror carved with her name. Meanwhile, anonymous threats warn him he'll be "the next victim." Using his sharp eye and logic as an electrician, Wang Lei pieces together the clues. He discovers that every "supernatural" event originates from hallucinogenic herbs prepared by the village doctor, Li Jianguo. Finally, during a carefully staged public confrontation, Lin Wanlian — whom the villagers believed was a ghost — appears alive and tells her story. A horrifying truth emerges, woven from ignorant prejudice, twisted love, violence, and drug control. The so-called ghost in the mirror was never real. It was only a reflection of the evil in human hearts.
