Instruments of torture are often regarded as sinister objects that ordinary people avoid and are reluctant to learn about. However, Mr Yuan Bingde has a passion for torture instruments and has not only paid high prices for various antiques, but has also spent a lot of money building a private museum. Some people called his museum The Vain City, probably because the collection was so full of grievances that it gave visitors the feeling of being in a city of wasted death in hell. After Yuan’s death, Chen Jue and Han Jin are put in charge of the Museum of Torture and become embroiled in a property dispute. A murder occurs unexpectedly, a fire breaks out, and a mysterious killer relentlessly pursues the survivors of the Yuan family. What is the secret of the “The Vain City”? A museum of torture instruments, a life and death sentence with unknown rules. When murder becomes torture, can it still be called “the perfect murder”? 32
