The years in the world are long, some people meet, some people part, and some people hide their lives in a small courtyard.
Taoyao and her fellow disciples once spent the most peaceful time in a small courtyard. The master is gentle and protective, and his classmates accompany him day and night. Dozens of people with different personalities gather together, noisy and caring about each other, turning the days of wandering and helplessness into the most precious warmth in the world of fireworks. This is their haven to escape the wind and rain, and it is the only home in troubled times that does not require fortification.
But peace never lasts forever. The aristocratic families outside the wall are constantly arguing, and the undercurrent of power and conspiracy is pressing harder and harder, and even this small courtyard is not immune. Coerced by fate, the master left first, leaving them alone to face the storms of the world. The people who were supposed to be together were surprised to realize that there was an undetectable betrayal and inner ghost hidden in the undercurrent. Trust collapsed, people's hearts were separated, and the once close classmates eventually drifted apart in the world and suspicion, and each went his own way.
The noisy courtyard in the past gradually became deserted, and the accompanying figures disappeared one by one. Only Taoyao was left, guarding the courtyard full of old memories, waiting alone. She had believed in the theory that the God of Death asked her in dreams, and had spent countless late nights looking forward to seeing her master and old friends again in her dreams, and getting a belated farewell.
But the night is silent and the dream is cold.
She waited for the change of spring and autumn, and the passage of time, but she still could not wait for the dream that she had longed for.
This is a story full of encounters and separations, trust and betrayal, protection and regret. It reveals the heart of a family amidst the disputes, and hides the warmth in the company of classmates. It describes the impermanence of gatherings and separations in the world, and also writes about the loneliness of being alone and waiting for a long time in memories.
Intention: to record a period of silent waiting hidden in time
