The snow in Tongque Villa melted, and the secrets burned to ashes.
But Shen Mo knew that everything was not over yet.
The last words Song Huaijin said before he died were not "Save me", but "Xiulan is still alive" - the woman who jumped into the well forty years ago may have never died.
Qin Fang disappeared. She rejected the entire villa that Song Yanqiu left to her, and disappeared into the vast sea of people with the unspeakable mystery of her life experience.
A strange woman wearing a red down jacket appeared at the door of Shen Mo's apartment, knocked on the door, turned around and left without leaving her name. Is she Xiulan? Or another key?
Song Huaixiu brought an unopenable wooden box from London. The lid was engraved with "dots in a circle" and the keyhole was as thin as the eye of a needle. The only copper key had been thrown into the fire of burning secrets.
There is a date hidden in Qin Muzhi's car accident file: November 11, 1985. He died that day, but five years before that, he disappeared and reappeared out of thin air.
Under the snow in the back mountain, there is a cave that has never been discovered. Someone has lived in the cave for forty years.
Shen Mo embarks on a journey to find someone alone. He wants to know: Is Xiulan dead or alive? Where did Qin Fang go? Why is the woman in red looking for him? What's locked in the wooden box?
When all the clues point in the same direction, he discovers that he's not the one solving the puzzle - he's part of the puzzle.
After the snowy night, the truth has just begun.
Purpose: The second volume continues the theme of "blood and family ties" and further explores the boundaries of "sin and redemption". When the truth of history is revealed, how should the living people face it? Should we choose to forget, bear responsibility, or take revenge? The work asks: Can one person's sins be repaid by another person? Can a house's curse be lifted by giving it up?
