The city was destroyed and the flames of war burned his homeland. General Wen Ruan sacrificed his life to protect Qi Nian who had lost his memory. However, after waking up from a coma, his sweetheart indifferently pushed his dying self away and resolutely went on a journey to find his missing person.
Qi Nian traveled across mountains and rivers for half his life to repent, and guarded empty graves to indulge in regrets. It was not until he reunited with his former love that he realized that the person he abandoned back then was the one he had spent half his life looking for.
Reunited after a long absence, there is a biting alienation hidden under the gentle surface, and the belated guilt has become a shackles that traps each other. But layers of past events are uncovered, and the parting between life and death and the catastrophe in troubled times were all a chess game planned by Wen Ruan step by step.
He trapped his lover with a fake death and was full of debts, and used paranoid calculations to retain the love he had always had. The entanglement of love and hate is difficult to resolve, and the true and false debts can no longer be distinguished. Year after day, the two of them are bound to each other and imprisoned, and they will never be able to escape alone for the rest of their lives.
Intention: paranoia about love and hate, separation between life and death, amnesia and missed memories, guilt and regret, careful planning, false sacrifice, fateful fetters, emotional shackles, true and false affection, entanglement with each other
