Long Sorrow, The Moon Remains

share time: 2025-10-14 06:01:07

Restorer Su Wan receives a Song Dynasty rouge box engraved with "Long Sorrow, The Moon Remains", with a yellowed half-page of opera lyrics inside. When restoring the box's patterns, she meets Gu Zhao, an antique appraiser—who looks exactly like the opera-clad man painted on the box's inner wall. Gu Zhao scoffs at "past lives" at first, but while helping Su Wan decode the opera lyrics, he frequently dreams of water sleeves on the red stage, osmanthus cakes handed from the audience, and a girl in a moon-white dress calling him "Ah Zhao". As the half-poem is completed, they uncover a regret from 800 years ago: In Bianjing's opera troupe, the female role Su Jiao and martial artist Gu Zhao agreed to marry on the full moon, but Gu Zhao died in the Jin army's attack, leaving Su Jiao waiting a lifetime with the box. Now the moon is full again—can the missed ones finally say the unspoken "I'm here"?
