The Myth

The narrative traverses two eras: the Qin Dynasty in ancient China, a time of imperial ambition and myth, and modern times when archaeology, treasure hunting, and reincarnation reshape the characters' identities. Past events echo into Jack's present actions as he pursues the missing material.

The story shifts between ancient China during the Qin dynasty, where the emperor's mausoleum and the elixir myth drive fate, and present-day India, where a Dasar prince tomb behind a waterfall becomes a floating stage for the treasure hunt. The settings blend myth and archaeology, linking eras through memory and ambition.

💞 Love vs Duty

A central conflict pits personal affection against political obligation. Meng Yi's love for Ok-Soo tests his loyalty to the crown, while Ok-Soo's vows and duties constrain their relationship. The romance persists but is tempered by guilt and responsibility, shaping choices across lifetimes.

⏳ Immortality and Consequences

The elixir promises immortality but condemns its recipients to a shadowed fate. The decision to test the elixir shifts power, curses lifetime after lifetime, and raises questions about humanity, power, and the cost of eternal life.

🔮 Reincarnation and Identity

The film links past and present through reincarnation, with Meng Yi's memories awakening in Jack. The transformation blurs lines between self and fate, driving the treasure quest and the echo of a legendary romance across centuries.
