This isn't a traditional wuxia comedy. It's a story about a group of wounded adults finding warmth in one another:
They all carry their scars, and none of them have been healed. But they've learned to keep living with those scars, and sometimes they can even laugh.
Perhaps that's what makes the “classic version” a classic: it offers no false hope, only genuine warmth.
A fake stele can inspire a true sword intent, watered-down wine can still taste real, and people carrying trauma can still live authentic lives.
“The stone is fake, but the sword is real. The stele is fake, but the feelings are real. In this world, things aren't always simply real or fake. Just making it through life is hard enough.”
