A gentle, jade-like master VS a once-pitiful youth who later grows into a radiant, noble young man.
Devoted master VS love-struck disciple
She is his master, and also the Southern Mountain he can never reach. The boy’s love has always been sincere and steadfast, open and unrestrained. He is the brightest laughter on a lonely mountaintop. His master’s affection and his fellow disciples’ respect surround him. At sixteen, his love is passionate and bold. He is the only laughter on a silent mountaintop, the mischievous boy who puts out and relights the lamp in her study, and the noisy companion always by her side. He is a proud genius, favored by the heavens, yet he has also tasted every bitterness life has to offer. Years of closeness and trust ultimately become a joke. He only closes his eyes, his heart full of resentment and the desolation of being cast aside, and finally asks, “Master, did you ever love me?” His master says nothing. He doesn’t want to cry, but unshed tears glimmer in his eyes. He knows everything he had was a flower in the mirror, a moon reflected in water. He gathers up the shattered reflections, but cannot hold on to the past.

As the story goes on, it becomes about more than just romance.
All the warmth and sweetness at the beginning are one big trap. There’ll be plenty of tears later.

“Don’t be afraid. Your senior brother will take care of it.”

“I spent every last coin I had, but still couldn’t save you.”
