Seven years ago, a great fire ravaged a Miao village. Months later, another eerie blaze broke out in the capital of Dayan. It burned for days without going out, and no one knew how it had started.
Seven years later, the Miao village, long hidden from the world, welcomes a visitor from the Central Plains.
The natural disasters in Dayan and the turmoil in Lanzhao are connected by an invisible thread.
