During the millennium bell, two strangers stood on the same night in Shanghai, unaware that their fates were intertwined.
Lin Si is a ruthless gambler in the business world, betting all his wealth on the tide of the times; Jiang Zhi is a gentle hunter in front of the canvas, capturing the breath of the city with paint. From the first confrontation at the Bund Auction House to the long separation on a winter night in Berlin; from staying together in the ward on the line of life and death, to the simple vows in Amsterdam - they spent twenty-four years repairing the cracks in each other's lives into a unique pattern amidst the financial crisis, the test of illness, and the changes of the times.
This is a long scroll about "falling in love, killing each other, knowing each other and staying together". Ember light and overlapping mountains, one burns itself to illuminate the way forward, and the other calmly carries all the weight. When two imperfect souls decide to spend their lives to complete each other, time itself becomes the deepest confession.
