The Snow Is Still on the Bones

Core settings - World view: There is a secret technique "Mirror Bone Technique" in the Dayong Dynasty - using living human bones as a guide to create a "Mirror Bone Man", whose appearance changes according to the mind, and can accept and act on behalf of the master, but has no independent consciousness, let alone "pain". The mirror-bone man lives and dies together with his master. If the master dies, the mirror-bone man will turn into ashes. If the mirror-bone man is destroyed, the master's life will be shortened. - The core point of abuse: the tear between "existence" and "reality" - he is a shadow born for you, but he secretly grows a heart; you regard him as a tool, but only find out when he disappears that your soul has already fallen on him. Worrying about gains and losses is hidden in the eternal questioning of "Does he really love me?" And "Do I love him or my own shadow?" Character setting - Xie Lingyuan: A powerful minister of the Great Yong Dynasty and the Marquis of Zhenbei, he held a heavy army but was infected with the strange poison "Heart-corroding Gu" and needed to use the mirror bone technique to survive. He has a cold and suspicious personality, and is used to controlling everything. He regards the Mirror Bone man "A Zhao" as an "instrument", but in the day-to-day interactions, he becomes dependent on A Zhao's "imitation" and "difference", and even misunderstands that he has a "heart". - A Zhao: Xie Linzhou's Mirror Bone Man, named after Xie Linzhou's twin brother "Xie Zhao" who died when he was young (Xie Linzhou didn't know that his brother's bones were used for alchemy). At first, he only imitated Xie Linzhou's words and deeds, but after blocking Xie Linzhou's knife one time, he accidentally awakened his vague "self-awareness" and secretly imitated his frown, hid his favorite cakes, and clumsily patted his back when he coughed up blood. He doesn't understand "love", he only knows "to keep his master alive", but in Xie Linzhou's indifference and occasional tenderness, he gives birth to the "pain" of worrying about gains and losses (not physical pain, but an emptiness at the level of consciousness). - Su Yan: The son of a former minister who was proficient in the mirror bone technique. He approached Xie Linzhou out of revenge - the Xie family was a mirror bone refiner and massacred his entire family. Xie Zhao's bones were mixed with his brother's bones. He took advantage of Xie Linzhou's "care" for A Zhao to reveal the truth of the Mirror Bone Technique step by step, and became the sharp blade that tore the two of them apart. - Xie Linzhou's heart-corroding poison attacks, and the only antidote requires the mirror-bone man's heart core, that is, the source of his bones. The mirror-bone technique can reverse it. The owner voluntarily sacrifices it, and the mirror-bone man can unbind the mirror-bone man. The mirror-bone man is lifeless, but he can be corroded into fly ash by the poison. Concept: The pain of human beings hidden in the mirror, the snow is a metaphor for the cold fate, the "undisappeared" coincides with the lingering lingering meaning, and the cold silence hides the obsession that cannot be resolved)
