Strange events unfold one after another on Mount Tonglu.
Haunted by the grotesque sights and sounds around him, Xie Lian’s heart begins to waver as long-buried memories resurface.
Sensing his turmoil, Hua Cheng gently stays by his side and ties a red string between their fingers—so they will never lose each other.
That unbreakable thread binds not only their hands, but their hearts as well.

While making their way toward the mountain’s summit, an avalanche separates them, and Xie Lian awakens in a vast stone cavern filled with countless divine statues.
Though he soon reunites with Hua Cheng, something about him feels different...
The veiled statues and murals that Hua Cheng stubbornly hides from Xie Lian begin to reveal the truth—his real identity, and the eight-hundred-year-long devotion he has carried for him.
