“Big Sister, the rift has opened. This time, let's escape and go see the stars!”

In the legendary Peach Blossom Spring, there are twin sisters, blossoms on the same branch.

The older sister, Nalan Mo, was born unable to hear, but can summon flowers across the mountains with a string of fragrant peachwood beads. The younger sister, Nalan Li, is full of wild ideas and can summon fragments of starlight with a wave of her hand.

The sisters grew up in the isolated Peach Blossom Spring, abiding by their ancestors' command to “never cross the boundary,” until the once-in-a-century night of the ritual.

An avalanche struck, and a rift in time and space opened ahead of schedule!

A mysterious couple arrived in the valley with news that “the outside world has long since been turned upside down.”

A young man from the neighboring household fell into another realm, and the stern old priest lay gravely ill.

Nalan Mo and her friend took up the priest's crown. When her fingertips touched the divine words left deep within the sacred pool, she read:

“Silence is the sharpest sword in heaven and earth.” No lie could exist in her silent world!

Amid the shifting light and shadows in the stone mirror, the Nalan sisters began to imagine a life beyond the valley...

“Don't be afraid. I can hear your heartbeat.”

When Peach Blossom Spring was forced to connect with the twenty-first century, Nalan Mo finally understood her mother's last sign-language message:

“Go out into the world. Plant a peach branch in the earth, and a new spring will bloom wherever you are.”

“On the day the twin peach blossoms face their trial, the silent world shall see all living things.”
