At the end of the Zhaolie Dynasty, a secret letter and a secret map tied seven people into the same chess game.
Shen Jinghong, the best strategist in the world, had no plan left, but died because of his own plan; Xie Changfeng, the governor of the northern border, the most stable mountain was broken into the craziest sand, and he only repeated one sentence "Jinghong, you lied to me again" for half his life; Skylark, the best assassin in the world, killed people with a smile, and was lonely for the rest of his life after carrying the mess; Gu Hanjiang, the successor of the Valley of Miracle Doctors , was most afraid of pain, and nailed herself to the formation's eye to protect the formation, and was pierced by thousands of arrows and died; the snowy saint Bailu was most afraid of the cold, lit a beacon fire on a snowy night on New Year's Eve, and froze to death on the beacon tower; the general's daughter Lu Xianchan and the enemy's hostage Mu Hongzheng, fell in love and could not recognize each other, and died in exchange for a glass of wine on New Year's Eve.
Seven people enter the game, six graves, and one living person. No one quits, no one regrets.
Years later, Yan Hui upstairs always lights up six lights every New Year's Eve. The old man guarding the city warmed six bottles of wine and spoke to the empty chair. Until the snowy night of the tenth year, footsteps sounded outside the door. She opened the door and saw six shadows in the moonlight.
"You are finally here. The wine is just warm this year."
Returning home on a snowy night, the returning geese make no sound. This is a story about fate and resistance, price and fulfillment. Everyone was broken at the most painful place, but everyone made their own choice.
Intention: Seven people were pushed to the same chess game by fate, and no one chose to escape. They all knew that there was a dead end ahead, but they all came out with "no regrets" in their own way. The person who is most afraid of pain carries thousands of arrows through the heart for everyone, the person who is most afraid of the cold lights the beacon on the coldest night, and the person who is the most calculating can't calculate the fate in the end - fate cannot be violated, but the choices everyone makes when facing fate define what kind of person they are. What the work wants to say is not "how cruel fate is", but "in the face of an unchangeable ending, people can still decide how to take the last step." All sacrifices are not forced, but come from protection, commitment and fulfillment. The snow falls silently and no one returns home at night, but those lights stay on year after year, proving that they have never really left.
