The morning mist in the misty forest is always wrapped in a hazy mystery. When Mu Bai first bumped into Yuan Lin, he was standing in the mist holding a bamboo flute, with dew on his clothes, like a Linzhi plant that accidentally entered the world.
It was originally an adventure to break into the Floating Yan Tower to save the second sister, but "searching" became the beginning of the bond between the two - the color of the fog they shared in the woodshed when hiding in the hospital, the tacit understanding of the bamboo flute and fists when defeating the enemy side by side, and the mutual support in the depths of the foggy forest when tracing clues. Every time they get close, the goal of "searching" quietly changes.
When the "Searching Organization" behind Mr. Xiao surfaced, they realized that the "fog forest" that everyone coveted was never a mountain forest where secrets were hidden, but a "place of the heart" where people could stay willingly.
From the noisy Yan Tower to the silent fog forest, Mu Bai was never chasing clues, but the figure in the fog that made his heart beat. What Yuan Lin was waiting for was never the way home, but the person beside him who would hold his hand. What started as a rescue adventure ended up being a story about two people finding each other in the fog.
Intention: Break the single narrative of "adventure is only the goal" and explore the relationship between "unexpected encounter" and "inevitable heartbeat": it starts with saving people, but because of each other's existence, the adventure itself becomes a carrier of emotional warming, highlighting that "accompanying" is the ultimate gain.
