During the Jiajing era, Qiyun Village was trapped in the eternal cold winter. Every time the bronze bell outside the window rang, a girl was branded "unknown". Gu Tingxue has lived between the cracks in the wall since she was born - the cellar dug by her father hides her breath, and Song Yilian, the young man who always steals peach cakes, taught her to identify the light of the Big Dipper in the dark.
When the high priest's copper bell pointed at the Gu family house again, the sound of Nuo cymbals exploded on the blood-stained snow. The boy who picked it up used his ancestral judge's pen to uncover a century-old scam: the so-called phosphorus fire of the mountain god's wrath was actually the burning smoke of the disaster relief granary; the copper bell of Qiyun Village finally no longer trembled for ghosts and gods, but rang the dawn light for every soul who dared to open his eyes on the snowy night.
What kind of sparks will spark between childhood sweethearts?
