A great migration of peoples two thousand years ago left behind an exquisite jade phoenix pendant. It sealed away the secrets of an entire people, but also doomed their future. The story begins at the protagonist's most glorious moment, then recounts the many calamities and tragedies of the past. All their struggles and obsessions ultimately come to nothing. He only wants to escape his current life; she only wants to live quietly as herself. Yet neither gets their wish. He redeems himself through death, leaving her no choice but to bear everything he left behind. If this is a conspiracy ordained by fate, may we stand firm together.
