Li Wuxin accompanies her junior sister down the mountain to search for her hometown. On their way through a small town, they hear that bandits have been robbing homes and abducting people.
So she disguises herself as the goddess statue the bandit chief wants to worship, and is carried into their lair in a small sedan chair for the welcoming procession. She successfully rescues the people locked in the dungeon, but the bandit chief manages to escape.
The group pursues him into a tunnel, only to discover a vast and mysterious underground palace...
A goddess statue that gives rise to strange omens, a mysterious village devoted to the gods, and people driven mad by their inescapable fate... Everyone's destinies intertwine and become entangled. In that eerie mirror, she sees a nightmare she will never forget.
If one day everything you believe to be real is no longer real, what price will you have to pay to awaken from this vast delusion?
Sui Shiwei has known since childhood that his fate is nothing more than a game piece someone can move at will.
One day, he is a pampered young master from a noble family. After waking from a night's sleep, he finds his home in ruins. Passersby tell him the family has been dispossessed, then ask who he is, because the family has no son.
He never knows what identity he will have tomorrow, or where his family will end up. It is as though someone is playfully tugging at the threads of fate, while the entire city is no more than a tiny insect on a web, ready to be overturned at will.
But why, he thinks in anguish, am I the only one who remembers?
Until he meets Li Wuxin.
On that night stained with blood and moonlight, a girl disguised as a mountain bandit takes his hand.
And from then on, the goddess has a face.
He hopes she will love him, yet fears that one day she too will look at him with unfamiliar eyes and ask who he is.
Sui Shiwei thinks, if she really forgets me...
He will go mad.
