In the seventeenth year of Jingyuan, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion collapsed overnight, and the entire Xiao family was executed on charges of "collaboration with the enemy and treason." The five-year-old legitimate son Xiao Jinchuan was thrown into a den of poisonous snakes by his enemies. His left leg was bitten by snake venom and he suffered from lifelong lameness. Fortunately, he was rescued by a loyal servant, and then he was tossed in the dark mines and death row, eating raw meat and killing enemies before he climbed out of hell.
After ten years of drinking ice, it is difficult to cool the hot blood. He changed his name to "Master Jin" and became the uncrowned king of the capital's underground world. His subordinates controlled gray businesses such as assassination and smuggling. His cold blade was stained with the blood of his enemies, but he would secretly give money to orphans in ruined temples on rainy nights. The softness hidden in his bones made even him regard it as arsenic. He worked every step of the way, just to collect evidence and make the people who framed the Xiao family pay with their blood.
Song Yuxi, the daughter of the Imperial Medical Officer, was praised by everyone in the capital as the "Bodhisattva Medical Woman". When the plague was raging, she stayed in the epidemic area for three months to save lives and heal the wounded. Faced with the threats from the powerful, she would rather die than abort her concubine. As a result, she was hunted down and accidentally broke into Xiao Jinchuan's hiding place.
At that time, he had just finished dealing with the traitor, and was covered in blood and violence. However, she ignored the corpses and murderous aura around him, only stared at his bleeding wound and whispered softly: "If your injury is not treated in time, it may affect your life." She was not afraid of his scars and cruelty, and saw through the brokenness and loneliness under his cold shell. She used superb medical skills to heal his old injuries, and used clean and pure kindness to melt his frozen heart little by little.
Xiao Jinchuan was deeply attracted by this warmth, but he was afraid that his darkness would taint her. He used harsh words to drive her away several times, and even used the lives of his enemies to set up traps to force her to retreat. But Song Yuxi was never afraid. She accompanied him to investigate the truth about the unjust case. When he was besieged by his enemies, she used a silver needle to repel them. When he was haunted by nightmares, she held her hand and comforted him softly.
When the conspiracy of the real culprit behind the scenes came to light, Xiao Jinchuan laid a dragnet and vowed to take revenge. On the eve of the decisive battle, the Taiwei kidnapped Song Yuxi and forced Xiao Jinchuan to cut off his right arm and surrender. At the critical moment, Song Yuxi used blood as a guide and a hairpin as a blade to force the guard back - she was never a dodder flower that needed to be attached, but a light that could stand side by side with him.
In the end, Xiao Jinchuan killed his enemy and exposed the Xiao family's injustice to the world. In the pool of blood at the execution ground, he stood lamely in the morning light. Song Yuxi smiled and stretched out her hand to him: "Xiao Lang, it's almost dawn."
The scars and hatred once carved on the bones were finally healed by the dawn light and the gentleness of the years. There is no longer a murderous Lord Jin in the world, only a couple of immortals who hang a pot to save the world and stay together for life.
Purpose: Taking Xiao Jinchuan's road of revenge as a guide, it reveals that hatred is not the end of redemption, and that real liberation is reconciliation with the past; Song Yuxi's goodwill is not a unilateral charity, but a two-way illumination - the darkness melts because of the glimmer of light, and the glimmer of light becomes more tenacious because of the darkness.
