Shen Du is an orphan from Qingni Lane. He only eats one meal a day and relies on charity from his neighbors. His greatest wealth is a box of old books left by his father and a jade pendant left by his mother. The old Taoist priest who was passing by said that he had extraordinary abilities and wanted to accept him as his disciple. Everyone in the town laughed at the old man as a liar, but Shen Du treated him to a bowl of thin porridge. Later, Shen Du realized that some things in this world are not about "right or not", but "whether they are worth it". He made choices again and again and paid the price again and again. He forgot his mother's face, his master's last words, and Jiang Wanyin's name. He lost his sense of taste, smell, hearing, and vision. He lost the most important person. But when the last bowl of hot soup was served, he felt-- Worth it.
