Features: There are as many stories as there are women. Baiyi Street was once a famous street for women in the southern city. The women's street was also known as Huazhi Street, a street of the underworld, specializing in selling coffins. Some people also called it the Coffin Street. Due to an event that even the heavens could not help, one after another of the coffin shops closed without reason, and people left as if swept away by a flood. There was a woman named Lu Tingjuan, the owner of a coffin shop. She should have left, but she went and hanged herself on Baiyi Street. She had beautiful black hair, a bright red cheongsam, and a long red head. She was told about by many people for many years. In their hearts, they held countless stories, bitter to the point of being unable to speak a single word. They guarded this street, guarding loneliness. Later, they all left.
