Those earthly connections, the threads hidden in time, are intertwined and connected.
There is an embroiderer who embroiders unspoken longings on a wedding dress, and three lifetimes of debt are hidden in the stitches; there is a scholar who finds half a broken letter in an old book, and the full handwriting is the farewell book that was burned by his own hands; there is a jade pendant from the general's palace that circulates The market eventually returned to the hands of the descendants whose bloodline was cut off, and the bloodstains of the past were still condensed in the cracks; there was a tea master guarding a half-pot of cold tea, waiting for someone who would never come again. When the tea foam gathered and scattered, it was exactly the same as when the person left thirty years ago...
Each story is an independent thread, either bright or dark, thick or thin, seemingly scattered in rivers and lakes, deep houses, markets, and borders, but in fact it is tied by an invisible thread - what you owe will eventually be repaid in another way; what you cherish will eventually return in an unexpected way at a certain moment.
Opening this collection is like unfolding a roll of embroidery soaked in time. Those seemingly unrelated people and disconnected things suddenly connect into a complete pattern when the last stitch falls. It turns out that all encounters are reunions, and all partings are foreshadowing, just like a thread that goes back and forth, where the needle starts is where it closes, and the ending is already hidden in the beginning.
The so-called cause and effect is just a knotted thread; the so-called reincarnation is just a loop made by the thread. And we are all the thread embroidered by time and pulled by fate.
Concept: With "Cause and effect are like silk, reincarnation is embroidery" as the core, through nine independent and coincident ancient stories, it explores the deep connection between "debt and repayment" and "obsession and relief" - all encounters in the world are reunions after a long separation, and all separations are foreshadowing. What seems to be an accidental tie is actually the cause and effect that has been woven in time. It does not emphasize the heaviness of fate, but focuses on the warmth of human nature in the "reciprocation of the silk thread": whether it is the courage to make up for regrets or the relief of letting go of obsessions, they are all in the context of reincarnation, illuminating the preciousness and redemption of ordinary life.
