故事大纲

In 1995, in Guangdong Province, Chen Fengdi, a cane farmer, and Lin Shen, a sugar miller's wife, who were both about to give birth, hid in a thatched hut next to the Temple Pond. At noon, they each gave birth to a baby girl, but a storm blew the huts apart in the pond. Chen Feng Di risked her life to retrieve only one of the children, who was judged to be Lin Shen's child because she did not have a porcelain bracelet on her hand, while Chen Feng Di's own daughter's life and death were unknown. In the process of searching for her daughter, events become treacherous and volatile, with Chen Feng Di and her husband Gan Yao Zu searching for their target all the way between the pond, the savages of the plantain grove, and Mr. and Mrs. Lin Shen. As the confrontation escalates and the clues deepen, Chen Feng Di begins to get closer to the truth - because of the baby girl's identity, it is possible that her child has indeed been abandoned in the pond. In order to bring her child back to life, she is forced to face enormous traditional and ethical pressure to dig up the Temple Pond. But the magical sight beneath the pond plunges the truth back into the mist.
