On a land apart from the rest of the world, people revered the gods for centuries, building grand temples to worship them and sacrificing a virgin priestess every twelve years. Then, one year, the priestess returned after giving birth to three young masters. The people showed great respect to the gods' consort and her sons, and the story began.
The main plot revolves around the sons of the gods. The eldest is greedy for wealth and women, the second vies for power and loves to win, and the third is indecisive and infatuated. Through them, the story reveals humanity's worldly nature: greed, anger, and delusion. The subplot revolves around a performer living apart from the world. Yuwen Huaxian is adorably foolish, innocent, and harmless, serving as the opposite of the main story.
If you also like to reflect the current troubled times and human criticism in the form of tragedy, I still recommend you to watch it. I am not good at speaking from a humanistic and social perspective and quoting scriptures. I try my best to respond in the form of stories without criticizing others. It is up to you readers to experience it for yourself. Of course there are deficiencies, please help me correct them, I would be very grateful...
