On a rainy night, the young Taoist priest walked into the tavern and said to A Li:
"You are a monster that eats people's hearts."
Ali didn't believe it.
She just has a bad life - people who love her will always leave, and people who make promises will always break their promises.
She knows how to make wine and is the best at naming the wine.
She hides the scenery of the four seasons, old dreams and new sorrows in bottles of wine - like finding a hiding place for a season, a bit of mood, and an old relationship that she refuses to reveal.
Throughout her life, she traveled to Zhuozhou, Fengcheng, Lucheng, Beidi, Yuzhou, and Chengxian. In the misplaced affection, overturned old cases, and turbulent times, she walked, lost, and saw things clearly along the way.
Taoist Wang wrote her story, how she cannibalize people's hearts, and how she makes others sacrifice their future, dignity, and responsibility for her, until they even lose their lives.
At first there was resentment and unwillingness, but later there was compassion:
The "heart-eating demon" who is more terrifying than her is never a certain person.
What really devours people's hearts is family status, power, war, imperial power, and the person who can crush all living beings with just a flip of his hand.

It's really good to watch and makes me cry. When I read the passage in Xiao Changyu's letter, I thought A-li would reunite with him later.
