In the 19th year of the Dayin Yong Night Calendar, the starry sky and the waterfall tilted north ahead of time. In the dark prison of Qin Tian Prison, Xie Xinghua, an orphan from the former dynasty, used blood as ink to draw a "living star map" that reversed the celestial phenomena, and also drew his own destined disaster——
That night, Wang Xiaojin with a different surname picked up his sword and broke the lock, just to escort her to Beiguan to sacrifice the three armies; but the girl raised her eyes and smiled, and made a three-month bet with him: she would win the war for him, and he would kill the regent for her. They taught swordsmanship on a snowy night, kissed their foreheads on horseback, and tied their ankles with bells. They found a long-lost warmth in each other, but when their hearts were at their peak, they stabbed each other with their own hands - she faked death and escaped, leaving him with gray hair overnight; he bloodbathed the North just to ask her "why" again.
Two years later, Xie Xingyou, who had lost his memory, became a master of martial arts, but was taken back to the military camp as a prisoner of war. The man pinched her chin, hatred welling up in his eyes: "Xie Xingxuan, you owe me a life." She laughed tremblingly and cried silently - she remembered everyone, but she dared not remember to love him again. The stars reappeared and eternal night approached. They were forced to join hands, but found that this three-part entanglement was just a prophecy written by God: three times she died for him, and twice his hair turned gray overnight for her. Each time they fell in love, the world was closer to destruction.
On the wedding day, she stabbed his heart with a knife: "I am pregnant with your child, but I must kill you." He smiled and held her hand, and put the knife deeper into his chest: "Then we will die together." The stars poured down, the city turned to ashes, and the fate of the twins was finally resolved - it turned out that only if he turned into a spark, she could light up the night; only if she was willing to look back, he would no longer have to be a lonely soul.
"The Ember Star" is an ancient sadomasochistic novel about "fate and redemption". It uses the stars of the eternal night as its bones and the entanglement of three points and three combinations as its flesh to describe the crazy love between two people who bite each other and keep each other warm in a troubled world. There are plots and wars, stargazing and prophecies, and the ultimate pull of "obviously destroying each other, but at the same time completing each other." When the star map was rearranged and the ashes were rekindled, they finally learned to bow their heads when they met again for the third time——
"Xiao Jin, it's me waiting for you this time."
"Thank you Xinghua, I will still be willing to give you gray hair in the next life."
Purpose: "Love is not a weapon that can change destiny, but the courage to believe in each other again in the ruins after dying together."
