At the end of the night, the whole family was massacred, and Ye Chenfeng was supposed to die in that revenge. But the god Yueyao found it interesting and dragged him back to the human world, granting him endless longevity and the power of a half-immortal, as well as eye diseases that occurred with the moon phases and endless loneliness. He became a living god in the eyes of the world, but he was just a pawn on the god's chessboard for people's entertainment. He lived only to bear the pain of losing everything.
Until he rescued Lin Baijun, a young man with a moon phase birthmark on his wrist. The young man timidly called him "Master", used sweets to soothe the pain of his eye disease, and covered his eyes burned by the moonlight with warm hands. From the beginning, he was docile and timid, but later he dared to contradict the world for him, and even learned medical theory to cure his eyes. Ye Chenfeng's heart, which had been frozen for many years, was finally warmed by this small beam of light. He began to use his half-immortal power to suppress the pain of his birthmark and protect him through full moons again and again, thinking that he could finally protect him and escape his fate.
But God never leaves room for people's jokes.
On the night of Ye Chenfeng's birthday, which was also the night of the total lunar eclipse, Lin Baijun encountered a gangster seeking revenge. He resisted tenaciously and unfortunately died. His blood dyed the hairband his master gave him red, and also dyed the moonlight in front of Ye Chenfeng's eyes red. The boy died in his arms, on his birthday, which became a death anniversary that he would never forget.
Ye Chenfeng finally went crazy. He no longer hid, no longer tolerated, and with rage all over his body, he fought alone for nine days, seeking an explanation from the god who had toyed with his life. But the resistance of mortals is vulnerable to the gods. He lost, he lost so badly that even his qualifications for revenge were crushed.
He could not avenge his disciple, nor could he go with him. He could only return to the world with the endless longevity granted by Yueyao, guarding an empty courtyard and the half-eaten piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake left by his disciple. On every full moon night, listening to the wind in his ears, he recalled the young man who called him "Master" over and over again.
The god is still watching coldly from above, watching his chess pieces, forever trapped in this game called "loss", with no escape.
Purpose: Taking "the malice of gods and the despair of mortals" as the core, it tells the story of a half-immortal who was played by the gods and died once, and a young man who was marked by fate and faced with death, how they briefly illuminated each other's desperate situation in the bond between master and apprentice, but ultimately fell under the cold eyes of the gods.
