The Ant Asked, Shattering the Sky with a Mirror

Qing Ling, a mortal scholar, returns home after being impoverished, only to be shocked when he hears that his parents died tragically under the tide of beasts. He digs at the ruins with his bloody hands and touches the monument of his loved ones. The night wind carries strange sounds, but the faint light from the broken mirror splits the line between life and death. False spiritual roots, broken bronze mirrors, and two lifetimes of obsessions, these are the capital of those who are like ants asking the sky - but the whispers in the night and the ghosts in the human heart come one after another. Is the end of the immortal road a happy and eternal life, or is it another cage?
