Tai Yi, the fearful Supreme Elder of the Qing Leng Society, only wanted to cultivate immortality in peace, but was misunderstood as a hidden power. In order to maintain his character, he took on Chen Junyao, a young man with an ominous black aura and lone wolf-like eyes, as his disciple.
He taught him exercises and healed his injuries. He was unfamiliar but stubborn and gave him care that he had never had before. In the ice abyss of despair, Chen Junyao touched the clumsy warmth for the first time - it was the exploration of his master's cold fingertips, the silent embrace in the quiet night, and the way someone above him leaned down for him.
Dependence quietly deteriorates. The young man is greedy for this unique care, struggling between reverence and transgression, unable to tell whether it is admiration or delusion. But Tai felt that his apprentice's eyes were getting weirder and stranger, but he didn't understand the undercurrent under that burning gaze.
One clings to the light in loneliness, longing for more but afraid to speak.
One performs responsibilities in social fear and provides warmth, but does not understand its meaning.
This master-disciple relationship, which began with a misunderstanding, quietly weaves a web that traps each other between the silent approach and careful retreat. When the mystery of the black energy and their former enemies approach again, how should they face this closeness that has crossed the line?
