Ancient fantasy + mystery and investigation + two powerful leads + past and present lives + a fallen kingdom
“Jiayuguan’s beautiful, tragic lantern-bearing woman × a scheming, wolfish young general from the northwest”
[Serious drama + ensemble cast + both leads are devoted to each other in body and soul]
A hundred years ago, the emperor abandoned the city, and 150,000 people in Jiayuguan perished.
She was the sole survivor, but resentment consumed her, leaving her forever young, unable to age or die.
She refined that resentment into a lantern and wandered the mortal world, helping the dead fulfill their lingering wishes.
A century later, her benefactor becomes entangled in a baffling case involving the disappearance of a hundred women in the capital. She follows the trail to the city and opens a lantern shop, blending into the crowds.
While investigating the case, she crosses paths with a cold-faced general recently returned from the northwest.
He suspects something is wrong with her. Could she be from another era?
She is startled by how much he resembles someone she once knew. Has he been reincarnated with memories of his past life?
She uses the power of her lantern to enter a dream and kill Zhou Konghai, but he catches her in the act and closes in on her step by step...
In that case, she’ll just have to kill him and eliminate the problem for good.
When the lantern burns again, the wronged spirits of Jiayuguan howl, and the betrayal of a century ago intertwines with the mystery of the present.
Is he her enemy in this life, or someone from her past life, bound to her by a debt of blood?
