One-line summary: A whole mess of trouble caused by fate.

We calculate and calculate, but cannot unravel the unknown path.

An uncertain fate, a future thrown into chaos.

Years later, as Shumo faces endless cycles of reincarnation and death, wearied to the point of exhaustion, Wuyi’s words suddenly come back to her: “It was a mistake, the mistake of clinging too deeply...”

Mingxuan: I brewed Immortal’s Stay, yet could not make you stay. One cup of Hibiscus Drunk, and I was the one who got drunk.

Wuyi: I held the Sevenfold Luo Umbrella, yet could not protect you. A pair of exquisite jade pendants, and old friends went their separate ways.

Chen Xiu: I offered the Abyssal Sword, yet failed to see the darkness in your fate. How I wish the flood dragon’s shears could cut apart these tangled threads of destiny.

Shumo: This is a play about three lifetimes. In this life, once I finish telling the story, I will depart in peace...
