The wedding procession treads an isolated path from this world to another and fills the night with its haunting song. Red petals whirl around the wedding sedan, dyeing the air with a nostalgic fragrance. The bedecked groom smiles within the sedan as the scent and melody evoke recollections of the past.

Memories unspool, starting from the Ghost Festival during which a visit from a mysterious man in an iron mask sent unease rippling through the village. When Xie An, an ostracized young man, met the masked Lord Jing, he could never have foreseen the affection they’d come to share—an affection deepened from dreams both wondrous and comforting, connected by a hair-thin bond that grew strong enough to bend time itself.
