Benming Year: Tian Tian's Terrifying Year at 37

The red socks she must wear in her zodiac year become shackles. When a vengeful spirit tries to possess her, Tian Tian awakens amid her fear and wields love as a sword to break through the spirit realm.

Her daughter gives her life to protect her mother. The whole family stacks their hands together to form a golden barrier, and the obsessions of their bloodline finally fade into starlight.

When hatred turns to understanding and the broken jade pendant crumbles to dust, she finally realizes: the armor that protects them is the warmth of her family's hands joined together.
