The emotions of the troubled times of the Republic of China + multiple identities + the entanglement and fetters between the spirits of artifacts and people, every brick and tile in Huating City is soaked in obsession
Xiwen's parents died when he was young, and he was resold several times. During an escape, he was rescued by Mrs. Wen who moved to Huating City. He lived here without any problems for many years. He had a dual identity and acted secretly until it was rumored that cultural relics that had disappeared for many years were spread to Huating City. When several students studying abroad returned, many changes occurred in the city... The glazed plate buckle of the cheongsam shop run by Shen Qing's mother's family can give a glimpse of the past life; the gramophone singing golden songs will overflow with black blood when the needle passes over it for the sixth time. The composition of this city is very complex...
Objects seem dead, but they take on a concrete form the moment they gain spiritual consciousness. Just like Mrs. Wen and Wen Sihan, because their appearance has not changed for a hundred years, they can only move around every 20 years, and so on. In order to avoid falling into the hands of others and staying away from their homeland, Mrs. Wen does not trust anyone, sometimes even herself, so there are Liao Xiwen, Cheng Yuhan, Shen Qing, Min Zhuxuan and others; wherever he goes, there is a group of people who give Wen Sihan the meaning of life and experience the various flavors of the world. It is like falling into a cycle of warmth, separation, reunion, and suffering, always looking for a place of peace and home; pain - but it also makes these years of loneliness look like a human being.
Every first night in a new place, Mrs. Wen would always think of the Taoist priest who taught her that "things have feelings", and his facial features were exactly the same as those of Wen Sihan today.
This journey brings us to Huating City, "We are not guardians, we are redeemers in reincarnation." Will what blooms this time be the end or a new life?
