In the early years of the Republic of China, in the deep alleys of the old city shrouded in mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, "Tinglan Zhai" quietly retreated from the world. The owner of the house, Song Yinli, was a daughter of an aristocratic family who was as cold as frost and was proficient in repairing guqin. She was burdened with a thousand-year curse of the family - burning her heart and karma. She fell into the nightmare of karma every night, and her life was like a candle in the wind. She alone guarded the ancestral secret pavilion, repaired the ancient relics that carried the sorrow and resentment of the past, and was also repairing her own unsolvable fate.
Ye Chu, a young botanist who returned from studying abroad, entered Tinglanzhai in order to find the magical medicine "Yue Po Vine" that can "nourish the origin of life" recorded in ancient books. He has the ability to communicate with plants and trees, his smile is like the sun in the morning, and his breath is like the new mud after the rain, carrying a rare vitality in troubled times.
The dusty "Secret Record of Baicao Lingzhi" not only leads to clues to the Moon Soul Vine, but also points to the ancient secret of "Karma Reincarnation" in Buddhism.
When the cold sound of the piano meets the warm vegetation, when the fire of burning heart and karma collides with the vitality of sincerity, a destiny intertwined with Buddhist cause and effect, accumulated karma, reincarnation and deep love in troubled times unfolds.
Where will this heart-burning and bone-burning love end up? Should we go to the silence of Nirvana together, or hold hands and light an eternal lamp of heart in the smoke of war?
