Set in an alternate ancient Eastern xianxia world, the story spans two realms: the secret Buddhist realm and the mortal world. Its timeline stretches across a thousand years, with the changing of the twenty-four solar terms hinting at causality and reincarnation. The sal tree, the sound of rain, and the bronze mirror form a threefold system of symbolism, representing Buddha-nature, tribulation, and the cycle of cause and effect.
Buddhist cultivators build their practice on merit, while mortal cultivators rely on the arts of the five elements. Strange beings such as mirror spirits can inhabit objects and draw strength from threads of cause and effect.
