This is a story about curse and love, debt and repayment, loneliness and encounter.
Xiyi has been cursed by heaven since she was born, and she thinks she shouldn't live. Her parents used their lives to tell her: You deserve to live. Chu Zhuoyan used a hundred years of silent protection to tell her: You are not alone.
Chu Zhuoyan punished himself for hundreds of years for failing to save Xiyi's parents. Xiyi asked her, "Are you approaching me because of guilt?" This question was not about motivation, but about everything between them. The answer is hidden in that night a hundred years ago, and in every silent gaze in the city a hundred years later.
Two people who were used to shouldering everything on their own finally met someone they could shoulder together. This is not a one-sided redemption story, but a two-way story of evenly matched people who still choose to move toward each other under the weight of fate.
