In Chang'an during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, in the "Qingyunxuan" paper kite shop in a corner of the West City, the young craftsman Shen Zhi was weaving flying poems with thin bamboo bone paper. The paper kites he made not only can fly in the wind, but also contain ingenuity - some depict exotic animals from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", or inscribe quatrains from contemporary poets. Each one carries his yearning for the sky.
Tang Yuan, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, has been trapped in a boudoir since childhood, but she was amazed by the sunken paper kite during an outing. The Qingluan paper kite has a shining wingspan and its eyes are embedded in glass, as if it will emit a clear cry in the next second. She frequently visited Qingyunxuan in the name of studying art, and the two gradually fell in love between the fragrance of bamboo and the charm of ink.
He taught her to cut bamboo into bones, and she added fragrance to his red sleeves; he took her to the city wall to fly kites, and she tied a poem written by herself on the irises.
The marriage proposal of Lu Cong, a powerful figure in the current dynasty, broke this dream. In order to cling to the powerful, Tang's father not only forcibly entered into a marriage contract, but also led his troops to destroy Qingyun Pavilion. On a rainy night, Shen Zhi knelt among the broken bamboo and paper and picked up half of the kite face that Tang Yuan had written a poem on. He saw the words written on it: "May the southwest wind pass away forever and be in your arms."
On the eve of the wedding, Tang Yuan escaped from the wealthy family and reunited with Shen Zhi in the dilapidated Yuan shop. They decided to use what they had learned throughout their lives to make a giant kite that could carry two people and fly over the Chang'an city wall with the east wind on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day. However, the Lu family's cavalry has blocked the city gate, and Tang's father wants Shen Zhi in the name of "witchcraft to confuse the public"...
This life-threatening elopement will eventually become a legend spread throughout Chang'an. Many years later, a caravan from the Western Regions brought back knowledge: There is a "Two Kite City" deep in the desert. In the city, a pair of connected paper kites are released every Chinese Valentine's Day. It is said that they can fly to the ninth heaven.
When thousands of houses are lit up on Chinese Valentine's Day, can they ride on the wind and escape from the prison of the world? And where will the paper kite, which carries the oath and hope, fly to?
"I only wish that your heart is like a paper kite, riding the wind to the ninth heaven."
