Description:
Where fate begins, worldly affairs often become entangled because of it. No matter how much you try to let go, when you cannot see through the many passions of the world, you ultimately struggle only within your own contradictions. The old monk Wu-Kong had cultivated for over forty years. On the verge of passing into nirvana, he still needed his disciple Mo Bai, who had accompanied him for many years, to use the sound of the bell to rouse his spirit and prolong his life, waiting only for a word of forgiveness from an old lover from forty years ago. Show more The lover came, a karmic debt was settled, and Wu-Kong and the old lover were cremated together. The smoke dispersed into the sky, scattering in all directions. Wu-Kong was gone. Mo Bai, only ten years old, went alone to seek refuge with a distant relative, Uncle Han. On the road he met a five-year-old vagrant urchin, Mo Ke. From then on the two were as close as brothers, and his tangled, unclear life began. The brothers Mo Bai and Mo Ke lodged in the Han household and were discriminated against by Auntie Han, but the Han family's pearl, Ruo-Mei, got along with Mo Bai and Mo Ke very affectionately, and Mo Bai did all he could to protect Ruo-Mei and Mo Ke. Mo Ke and Ruo-Mei went to school together, while Mo Bai worked hard day and night to pay Mo Ke's tuition. In Auntie Liu's mill, even late at night Mo Bai's figure could still be seen working, and Mo Bai also built a mother-son-like bond with Auntie Liu. Fifteen years passed in a flash. Mo Bai, Mo Ke, and Ruo-Mei had all grown up, and Mo Ke and Ruo-Mei, mutually in love, privately pledged themselves to each other. By chance they met Ji Rui-Feng, the only son of the powerful Ji family. Rui-Feng was deeply drawn to the delicate and lovely Ruo-Mei, and used the Ji family's immense wealth and power to force Auntie Han to marry Ruo-Mei to him. Mo Ke also lost his ability to have children after being beaten and poisoned by men sent by Rui-Feng. Ruo-Mei, married into the Ji family, was not happy. Heartbroken, Mo Bai accepted Ji Xiang-Yun's help to work in the Ji household and secretly investigate Mo Ke's whereabouts. The grief-stricken and furious Mo Ke wandered outside, vowing to take back the humiliation and harm the Ji family had brought him. He let himself drift in the underworld, and by relying on his agile skills and a reckless, death-defying attitude, he finally became increasingly famous in the underworld. With his wings growing fuller, he returned. Everyone in the Ji family trembled with fear, and Ruo-Mei longed even more to see Mo Ke again, but the Mo Ke of this moment was no longer the Mo Ke of the past. Ji Rui-Feng and Old Master Ji joined forces against Mo Ke, but Ji Rui-Feng never expected that Old Master Ji would use his own grandson to frame Mo Ke. He personally directed the kidnapping of his own grandson, yet shifted the blame onto Mo Ke. Ruo-Mei knelt and begged Mo Ke to find her son, and only after Mo Ke spent everything he had did he discover that Old Master Ji was the manipulator behind the whole play. Although Old Master Ji won all of this, he lost the love and respect of his children and daughter-in-law. Seeing through fame, profit, and love, Mo Ke left without looking back, leaving without seeking anything at all.
