Thousand Autumns

Yan Wushi has spent his life treading a ruthless path paved with blood and corpses, forging a worldview devoid of faith in human goodness. He firmly rejects the notion that anyone could possess genuine benevolence or an unwavering sense of justice, let alone someone who would selflessly care for others without demanding anything in return. To him, such pure altruism is nothing more than an illusion. His cynical philosophy is put to the test when he encounters Shen Qiao, the esteemed sect leader of Mount Xuandu, widely revered as the foremost Daoist sect under heaven. After accepting a challenge to a duel, Shen Qiao mysteriously plummets from a cliff. Yan Wushi happens to be passing below and discovers the fallen leader on the brink of death. Rather than offering simple aid, the sight of the gravely injured cultivator sparks a calculated and perfect scheme in Yan Wushi’s mind—one designed to prove his dark convictions about human nature. As their fates intertwine, a profound question lingers over their journey: after thousands of autumns, who among them can truly endure for eternity?
