A monk making a fire, and a torn book dug out of the stove.
Wu Youde burned fire in the back mountain of Shaolin for eight years, and his life was duller than the ashes of the stove.
Until late one night, he pulled out a burnt "Cause and Effect Book" from the ashes - the moment he opened it, under his senior brother Bai Ji's name, it was clearly written: Twenty-seven years old, died of a knife.
He doesn't believe in fate.
Bai Ji's fate took a turn after he wrote the first line of words on the book with kitchen ashes.

The Book of Cause and Effect can change one's destiny, but it cannot change one's heart.
The turmoil in the apricot forest, the snow in Yanmen Pass, Murong Fu's sword, Du Heng's hatred... A book, dragging the Shaohuo monk who does not know martial arts into the deepest water in the world.
He changed Bai Ji's life, saved Du Ruo's life, allowed Murong Fu to see a future of dying alone, and made Du Heng put down his butcher knife in despair.
But the old monk Baibu told him: "Cause and effect can be borrowed and cannot be reversed, and people's hearts can be guided but not changed."

A princess who ran away from marriage learned to wait by squatting by the stove.
Ziyuan is a wayward princess of Dali. For a fire-burning monk, she took off her brocade robe and put on a monk's robe. From the waving on the palace wall to the late night of the elopement, from her father's funeral to the smoke from the kitchen.
Huijing left and died in the spring sunshine. Du Heng left, taking a vow not to kill anyone again. Void is here, clumsily learning to make a bowl of noodles for the one I love.

The fire in the stove is still burning.
The vegetable patch in the back hill turned green and yellow, and people in the kitchen came and went.
Baiji came back after taking revenge. Huanglian was planting herbs and waiting.
