Episode 8 recap: Xiao Xiang transformed into Hai Qingyue.

Xiao Xiang voluntarily admitted to Zuo Yuan that he often saw Hai Qingyue, and even saw the body of Hai Qingyue in a water tank. Xiao Xiang asked Zuo Yuan about it, but Zuo Yuan did not admit it. He only said that Xiao Xiang's perception was due to excessive nervousness. One morning, Xiao Xiang got up to brush his teeth and suddenly saw his face completely transformed into Hai Qingyue in the mirror. Xiao Xiang asked the master to break open the door, and Zuo Yuan also returned home. However, when the door was broken open, it revealed a wall.

Zuo Yuan asked Xiao Xiang what he wanted to do, but Xiao Xiang said that behind the wall was a room. Xiao Xiang claimed to have seen Zuo Yuan killing Hai Qingyue with his own eyes, and even showed a photo of Hai Qingyue. Zuo Yuan took Xiao Xiang to his study and showed him a glimpse of his phone, which was monitoring Xiao Xiang's activities. The footage showed only Xiao Xiang and Zuo Yuan, leading Zuo Yuan to believe that Xiao Xiang might have a mental problem that caused him to have persistent hallucinations. However, Xiao Xiang believed that it was not due to these reasons and was certain that there was something in the house. He also refused to see a doctor and wanted to return to his own city.

That night, Xiao Xiang was sleeping in bed while Zuo Yuan sat on the couch. Suddenly, an old man wearing glasses appeared. The scene shifted, and it was the next morning. Xiao Xiang woke up and went to the room to freshen up as usual. However, in a dazed state, just as he was about to brush his teeth and faced the mirror, he suddenly discovered that his appearance had drastically changed, and even his voice had changed. He was frightened and ran out of the room.

Coincidentally, Xiao Xiang encountered a servant outside who, upon seeing him, referred to him as Hai Qingyue, without acknowledging the existence of the name Xiao Xiang. Xiao Xiang felt scared and immediately called Zuo Yuan, but the call couldn't be connected.
