Synopsis
They're one of the few gothic metal bands in the country. From playing regular gigs at bars to signing with a record company and holding concerts, they seem to be on the road to success. Perhaps after spending too long in the dark, the blazing sunlight mixed with psychedelic stage lights sends Nan Xuan, who was nearly moldy, into a dizzy frenzy. Xian Wu says, "The light reveals gods and demons; the darkness reveals the truth." But Nan Xuan keeps seeing a purple-clad figure, visible only to him.
People say artists are inherently aloof. When faced with acclaim and the public eye, should they change for the masses, or make the masses accept who they really are? After years of friendship, Xian Wu and Nan Xuan finally begin to shine with lights that cannot coexist, hidden beneath their own glamorous, captivating facades.
Nan Xuan becomes a wild man in the entertainment industry, fighting everyone and everything that goes against his heart. He'll kill gods and Buddhas, and fears neither Heaven nor Earth. He makes plenty of enemies and often throws his bandmates under the bus. Though the band's Meiji, Freak, Ghost Fiend, and the others are all quite capable, they still can't help getting hurt by him.
When it comes to love, he's chewing on one woman, there's another woman in his bowl, and his chopsticks are holding yet another woman.
He wants to swallow one first, but suddenly gets a toothache. In the midst of his frustration, the one in his chopsticks falls and hits the bowl's rim, knocking the one inside it onto the floor as well.
As for his career, the purple-clad figure tells him, "To reach the pinnacle, you must do something crazy." Nan Xuan thinks the figure is insane.
At last, after exhausting all his madness, Nan Xuan still fails to reach the pinnacle. Instead, he "dies" in a car accident.
Not long afterward, someone who looks exactly like him comes to visit his grave. Then that person begins a wild, counterattacking life...
Theme: From a land of demons to a realm like paradise, how should ordinary people find a place for their youth?
