In the Shadows

In a secluded village surrounded by a mystical forest, seventeen-year-old Xiao Zhan, a blind and beautiful boy, lives with his family. Known for his bravery, Xiao Zhan frequently ventures into the forest to gather herbs, despite the villagers' warnings of the terrifying creatures lurking within.

One morning, when Xiao Zhan's sister falls ill, his father asks him to gather herbs for a healing tonic. Ignoring his brother's teasing, Xiao Zhan sets off into the forest. However, while on his journey, he becomes enchanted by a haunting melody and follows it deeper into the woods, eventually losing his way.

Xiao Zhan is drawn to the mystical creature that lives in the woods, but what is the reason behind it? Had they met before?
