Curator note

According to historical records, Qingchuan has a history of at least two thousand years. Over the past two thousand years, many epic stories have unfolded on this continent, and many influential figures have emerged. However, what is discussed most by later generations is the period of more than ten years during the reign of Jinghong of Qi State, starting from the third hundredth year of the Qingchuan Era. On the Mingguang Terrace, stars once fell like rain. The Tingxue lamp, which had not been lit for a century, once illuminated Jidu. Winter in Cangwu City is always accompanied by howling winds, yet the subtle fragrance can travel south through time and sealed secrets, piercing through the year-round mists of Pengxi Mountain.

It is said that her birthday is the day when the beacon fire burns eternally each year. It is said that even after hundreds of years, the fragrance of orange blossoms still lingers in the summer nights of Qi Palace.

They go to the human world in the morning and return to the starry sky at night. The fierce, cold wind blows, and even the ice and snow seem to mourn. Time flies like an arrow; a bright mirror is no more than a broken stand. Through the ages, this love remains unchanged. The shadows are long under the lamp, a lonely high platform. Speechless, I wanted to ask, "Where did the smoke come from?" Wandering and watching quietly, summer grows old and winter is sorrowful. Whose life is like the ebb and flow of love?
