In the mountains and fields of southwestern Hunan, an old White Horse Temple stands beside the road at the entrance of the village.
Jin Manyue was a young man who lost her husband and struggled to make a living guarding the land next to the White Horse Temple. Others said that this land and this ruined temple were the destination that she could not escape in her life.
Tian Shufang, who carries the stigma of being a murderer's wife, has been surrounded by gossips all year round. She is careful every step of the way, just to live a stable life.
The old grudges lie between the two, and when they meet, they become tit-for-tat, with no one willing to bow first.
Neighbors' gossip, the pressure of survival, and the inherent prejudices of the world are layer upon layer.
They are each other's enemies, wary of each other and hurting each other; but they are also trapped in this land, suffering the unspeakable pain of being women.
The incense in Baima Temple is sparse, and you can quietly witness the ups and downs of the world for decades.
It's easy to let go of hatred, but it's a long and muddy road. They must learn to deal with fate after all.
Concept: A temple witnesses the ups and downs of all living beings. In rural areas, women endure similar shackles and hardships. Hatred consumes life, and only by maintaining inner tenacity can we survive the hardships of the world.
