On the night of the blood moon in the Dayin Dynasty, Lin Zhaozhao, the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, witnessed his father's tragic death and was rescued by the mysterious young man Xie Huanyan. Half of a jade pendant with a dragon pattern engraved with "Mountains and Rivers are Eternally Silent" has drawn her into a twenty-year grudge between the powerful "Pavilion of Rebirth" and the imperial court. In order to find the truth, Zhao Zhao stepped into the abyss of ghosts in the underworld's soul-inducing lamp, and unexpectedly uncovered the life-and-death contract between his father and the first generation master of the Pavilion of Rebirth.
The whereabouts of Xie Wangyan, who is carrying the "Seven Days Absolute" poison, are a mystery, and the jade flute and Zhao Zhao's jade pendant around his waist hide mysteries. The Ninth Hall Master Wen Jiuniang's soul-inducing lamp trial, the life-and-death situation of Xuanji in the secret room of the Rebirth Pavilion, and the shocking secrets that are revealed every twenty years in the Shanhe Palace. Layers of conspiracies push the love and hatred between the two generations to an impasse. When the complete dragon-patterned jade pendant reappears in the world, an ultimate game with the world as a chessboard and love as a sacrifice quietly unfolds...
Intention: Use love as a sacrifice to break the world and play chess games; use embers as a guide to illuminate the eternal silence of mountains and rivers.
