Thirty-five-year-old Lin Wu, with short cold hair and black-rimmed glasses, looks like a piece of cold jade without any warmth. Others only said that she was cold and distant by nature, but no one knew that this indifference was the armor honed by more than ten years of wandering between yin and yang, and seeing the good and evil in people's hearts.
In childhood, accompanied by the mountains and fields, an unexpected kiss under the locust tree made the ignorant mind quietly take root. Blood ties, secular ethics, and gender shackles destined this deep love to be taboo from the beginning. After decades of separation, she practiced spiritual practice and traveled between the yin and yang worlds; she stayed in her hometown and was content with the ordinary fireworks.
Monsters are rampant in her hometown and her old friends are in danger. She returns home with her sword in hand. A bloody battle in the house, the spiritual power was exhausted, and everyone was protecting each other with their lives. The emotions that have been suppressed for half a life break through the reason, and they fall in love and embrace each other for a moment, but in the end they cannot escape the shackles of reality.
One sword wipes away the haze, one kiss wipes out the obsession. The secret love that spans half a life begins at a young age and ends with propriety. They love each other deeply, but they can only call each other cousins, looking at each other across the worldly gap. The mountains and rivers are peaceful, and I am speechless every year. There is only a scar in my heart, which becomes a lifelong unsolvable feeling.
Purpose: To explore the regret and helplessness of a forbidden love under the shackles of secular ethics, kinship and gender, and to show the struggle of adults facing reality and sincerity.
