An ancient piece of green jade left behind from a bygone era.
Legend says that whoever possesses the jade will gain eternal life, rise above all living beings, and become a god in the truest sense.
It draws the covetous attention of every faction.
An utterly ordinary young woman
is swept into this unseen whirlpool.
Everyone who draws near her
has their own motives.
The people called “friends” grow together as they come to know one another, yet each remains true to their own convictions.
A young wolf nobleman burdened with reviving his clan.
A cold-faced immortal who keeps out of worldly affairs.
A young emperor with the world in his heart.
A princess of Penglai, cherished and protected by all.
They are all bound together by a piece of jade.
On the chessboard, everyone is a piece,
but no one knows who is playing them.
The mist closes in.
“Why are you always so cold toward me?
Leng Yuxi, do you have a heart?”
“Have you ever loved me?” the man asked.
The woman stared into his eyes. “And you? If you had to choose, would you give up the convictions you hold to?”
“Of course not.”
Those four cold words were their shared answer.
But willow leaves drift for thousands of miles on the wind.
Where can one safely entrust this life?
The dream has turned to nothing,
and the moon’s shadow follows on.
