Note text
Male lead's note
A legend about Yuchen Town.
"A vicious beast ravaged the world not long ago. It was as white as snow and was named the snow beast..."
"There is a goddess by the name of Qingnu who planted spiritual herbs across the world to relieve the sufferings of the people."
"The snow beast was fond of the herb's fragrance and went into a rampage searching for it as it matured..."
"However, the spiritual herb was scattered all over the world, so not even the strong snow beast was able to collect them all..."
"In the end, the snow beast could not bear the endless search, losing its aggressiveness and becoming tamed by Lady Qingnu."
The legend ends here, followed by a strange note:
"Even a vicious snow beast fell victim to greed."
"If ordinary people saw my collection, they would end up no better than the beast..."
"Controlled by wealth and consumed by greed. Step by step, they march towards their end..."
"I could never get tired of watching such a scene."
Main character's note
A thick notebook. The writing on it is imprinted onto the next page. The owner seems to be experiencing internal turmoil.
Opening one of the pages, it reads:
"The deck of the ship of Theseus slowly ages and the ship's panels gradually gets replaced..."
"If all the original panels are replaced, would it still be considered the same ship?"
"This villa is..."
Male lead's note
A bulletin board common in the mountain villa.
A notice is pinned to it.
"Temperature are dropping lately as snow and wind picks up. It is inconvenient to travel."
"Labyrinth Pavilion's staff Mo Yu and Shen Yong went missing while on patrol in the villa. Numerous searches yielded no results."
"Please be careful."
