More information:

 

During a military operation, general Wang Sheng (王生) rescued
a beautiful woman, Xiao Wei (小唯), from a gang of bandits and brought
her to the town that he stationed. A series of murder cases, in which
the victims' hearts were removed, occurred soon after Xiao Wei's
arrival. This led Wang Sheng's wife Pei Rong (佩蓉) to speculate that
Xiao Wei was a demon and responsible for the deaths. Just as the
situation worsen, Pang Yong (龐勇), the previous head of the army, and
Xia-Bing (夏冰), a self-proclaimed demon hunter, both arrived at the
town....

Based upon a  story in the Chinese classic "Strange Stories from a
Chinese Studio" (聊齋誌異), Painted Skin has captured the essence of the
strange world in which demons live alongside human, and which the
relationship between humans and demons remains as fluid and uncertain as
in the relationship between human themselves.
