In the last years of Chengyin's life, the giant boat was about to sink.
Xie Mingji, the new top scholar, wants to save the world, but falls into the hands of the powerful minister Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue coerced the emperor and ordered the princes to establish a small court in Wugang. He used iron-blooded methods to "scrat bones and cure poisons", which earned him notoriety for thousands of years. The ideal of Wei Zhao, the famous northern general, was shattered in front of reality, and Su Qianqian, the master of intelligence, made a cold bet among all the forces.
When the Northern Iron Cavalry approaches Gu City, all beliefs and betrayals, sacrifices and calculations are pushed to a desperate situation. This is an elegy dedicated to all sober people, telling the story of how everyone on a giant ship destined to sink leads to their respective fates.
Purpose: To explore the value and dignity of individual choice in the face of irreversible overturn.
