In the Underworld's River of Forgetfulness, where there is neither day nor night, bronze soul lamps cast their light on a figure in white. He is Shen Du, the only soul ferryman on the River of Forgetfulness, with a heart as cold as still water and no thoughts of his past.
Across a sea of flowers on the other shore, crimson hues stain the dust, and the power to weave dreams gives rise to life. She is Su Wang, a seeker of the way trapped for a thousand years, whose heart burns like a flame and whose obsession has become her sorrow.
The waters of the River of Forgetfulness cannot sever a thousand years of longing. A single soul lamp cannot illuminate the past.
She enters his solitude, using a kiss to awaken his buried memories. He protects her, using his soul as a shield against the injustice of Heaven's Dao.
They find old ties engraved on the Three Lives Stone and seek the Heavenly Dao in the Sea of Chaos. From the Underworld to the Celestial Realm, from forgetting to remembrance,
they love each other on the edge of life and death, and defy their fate.
The flowers on the other shore bloom and fall; the lamplight flickers and burns anew.
Of all the crossings in this world, only love cannot be ferried across. She alone is the one and only destination of his life.
