Synopsis

Xi’an, also known as Chang’an, is where our story takes place.

Here, Zhou Mo, a Chinese returnee searching for his roots, meets Gu Leng through a painful bout of appendicitis. From the pool hall to the firing range, they uncover each other’s secrets and vulnerabilities, setting off an era-spanning legend of their own. The first time Zhou Mo sees Gu Leng, he can’t help feeling a little overwhelmed by her attentions. Perhaps the girl who grew up in this ancient capital has absorbed too much of its weight; to him, she feels like solid ground.

So many characters take the stage in this drama of life...
