Synopsis: In 2010, halfway through the ten-year promise between Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie, the ultimate secret behind the Bronze Gate undergoes a strange change. Zhang Qiling, the current head of the Zhang family, once again embarks on a difficult search. The Old Nine Gates can no longer be trusted, and the Six Gates, who have lived in the mysterious Bashan Mountains of western Hubei, have finally reached the moment when they must fulfill their duty. What unknown secret lies behind the brutal punishment at their last gathering twenty years ago? Why did Yu Sheng, the young master of the Yu family, fall "in love at first sight" with Zhang Qiling when they first met? What kind of encounter awaits Wu Xie, who has been quietly waiting in Hangzhou for their ten-year promise, when they meet again now? Are the ancestral tombs of the Six Gates on Old Tomb Mountain the final resting place of the dead, or the lingering dream of the living?
