When he was seventeen years old, Jiang Shanshan came to Luoyang for the first time in search of his long-lost sister.
At that time, it was late spring in the divine capital, and the Lantai Festival was about to take place. Celebrities chatted, aristocratic families discussed characters, the city's crowns and flowers complemented each other, as if this world that had been at peace for a long time would never fall.
It was also on that day that three young people who had nothing in common met.
Jiang Xianxuan comes from the world of martial arts, and just wants to find her sister and live according to her own wishes.
Xie Mingyi was born in a high family, and was raised as the perfect heir to the Xie family since childhood. He believed that as long as he shouldered enough, he could protect his family and everyone around him.
Helianlie came from the north with a side report that no one took seriously. He saw the troubled times earlier than anyone else in the city of God, and he was eager to control his own destiny more than anyone else.
At that time, they did not know that the romantic scene on Lan Tai was the last afterglow of the old world.
In the next seven years, famous people were killed, the Qing Dynasty became a disaster, kings fought with each other, and the world was displaced. Some people gradually lose themselves in order to keep everything, some are forced to leave their homeland, some move from the edge of civilization to the center of power, and some spend their whole lives just trying to keep one's name in troubled times.
From the Lan Tai event to the fall of the divine capital, they witnessed the collapse of beauty, language, systems and relationships one after another. They must also answer the same question before time decides their own destiny:
When the old order no longer exists, can people still live their lives truly, freely and beautifully in the way they choose?
Philosophy: From the Lantai Festival to the fall of the City of Gods, a group of young people choose who they want to be in the twilight of seven years in the old world.
