   Everyone says the Thousand Faces General Store can grant any wish. Little do they know, those who step through its doors are all souls under the lamp, guided by the light, bound by the scales of fate, their souls locked in a struggle. Former Zhang family patriarch, a warlord of the Republic of China, the white moonlight of Southeast Asia, the nemesis of the Nine Gates, a refined professor… whoever you are, when the mission comes, you have to act, even if you have to grit your teeth! As he acts, he becomes everyone's heart's blood, their white moonlight, their indelible mark! Even worse, these "white moonlight" all "died" spectacularly, becoming scars that can't be removed from their hearts. Then one day, you discover that the "dead" white moonlight is standing alive in front of you, and it's none other than the Thousand Faces boss you disliked the most… The young man grabs his wrist tightly: You… don't even think about escaping again. The blind man smiles sinisterly, cornering the man against the wall, his sunglasses slipping down to reveal captivating eyes: Tsk, see clearly? I'm a man, I can still make you… Wu Xie stared at the blood-stained bone knife, then at the boy's wounded body, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Who... Who are you?" Xiao Hua supported the drunk man, her fingertips tracing the hidden mark behind his ear, whispering by his bedside every night: "It's you, isn't it?" The fat man unraveled the mystery, pointing directly at the enigmatic Thousand-Faced Lord: "Damn! It was you, kid!" The boss: "..." He just wanted to quietly complete the exchange, earning a little "soul" difference! Why are they all rushing at him like madmen?! Theme: Love is the recognition of souls; even if thorns cover the body, one must smile and sing this absurd drama to the end. (Read the main text)
