Quests

Deep in the mountains, branches thick and vines tangled, where do the uncanny secrets lie hidden? Amidst the mulberry groves, upon the silkworm racks, within the secluded valley, along the shores of West Lake. Enter this spring mountain, and dispel the darkness of ignorance./nUnlocked after completing the Main Quest "Scenery Once Known: Bells in the Rainy Night"

Life is like a spring silkworm, spinning its own cocoon to bind itself.

The deep mountains of Central Zhejiang have always been a hotbed for the supernatural, famous for legends like meeting immortals at Mount Tiantai and losing centuries over a game of chess at the Stone Chamber. Twenty years ago, another strange mystery occurred in the hills of Hangzhou. A story that Chen Zixi is about to lay bare, piece by piece.

When it's done (spoiler)

Impermanence has yet to arrive, and the youth in this tale still does not believe in fate or spirits, trusting only that he can pass through the deep afflictions of destiny like a traveler through a hall, untouched by even a single leaf. Today there is only wine, and the sunrise over West Lake to behold.
