The ancient temple has green lanterns and the mountains and fields are vast.
He is Wangyou, the youngest abbot of Puji Temple. He was supposed to have six pure roots, but because he went down the mountain to beg for alms, he met the blind orphan Sui He.
She couldn't see the light, but she could see his tenderness and struggle hidden under the monk's robe.
A plague and a prescription tightly entangled the fate of the two people.
However, the pure rules of Buddhism are like mountains, and the emotions of the world are like water. Wangyou is painfully torn between "big love" and "little love" - on one side is the temple and living beings entrusted by Master before his death, and on the other side is the eternal bright shadow in his heart.
He is Xiao Feng, the powerful regent. He sees the shadow of his mother who died young in Sui He, and he also sees the purity and tenacity in her bones.
He is willing to use his country as his investment and his eyes as his capital to exchange for her bright life, even if she always carries that monk in her heart.
She is Shen Qinghuan, the daughter of the prime minister's house. She was once arrogant and wanton, but after seeing all the worldly entanglements, she resolutely took off her wedding dress and traveled to the end of the world to live only for herself.
A love affair with a Zen heart that is doomed to be fruitless, a silent sacrifice of exchanging one's eyes for one's life, and a pursuit of self that breaks free from the prison.
Between love and responsibility, freedom and destiny, they each rush to achieve their goals.
The mountain breeze is still there and the bells sound long.
Some people stay in front of the Buddha and silently recite her peace; some return to the darkness to achieve her clarity; some travel across the mountains and rivers to find their own answers.
And perhaps the deepest tenderness in this world is——
I love you, but I don't have to own you; I fulfill you, even at the cost of myself.
[Crying] It hurts so much
