Synopsis

The cold sword cuts through the heavy prayers, and the candlelight in the distant village shakes kindness and tenderness. The prominent Zhao family, the powerful minister who overturned the government, and the new father, the doctor in Caoze, consciously seek a way out among the many gates of fate. Cheng Ying, Tu Anjia, the orphan of Zhao and other characters stripped off their symbols, returned to the story in the contest between justice and evil, and returned to the present in the choice of sacrifice and redemption. Confrontation or compromise, loneliness or silence, compassion or love, generosity or humiliation, came to us in countless moments. Why is the knife of redemption mentioned, and where should it go?
