In the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, sadness was a business.
The Broken Heart Inn specializes in absorbing the misery of the world, and a cup of forget-you-forgetting tea exchanges for a piece of the past.
The proprietress Liu Hanyan turned her tears into amber honey, but she didn't know that she had become a key piece in the dynasty's chess game.
The former Jin Yiwei, the wandering doctor, and the famous prostitute in Jinling were involved one after another, and they discovered that the flow of honey involved the stealing of national destiny.
When misery becomes the nourishment for darkness, these marginalized people must use their own methods, between forgetfulness and memory, to find the last glimmer of light for the broken country.
