The power is the deity, and the characters are all shadows. The blood in the style of ink painting is the color of intrigue, the twist of dark and soft dance steps is the gesture of power struggle, and the yin and yang of the eight trigrams are the symbols of power. The film echoes the beginning and the end, starting from Xiao Ai's peeping and ending with Xiao Ai's peeping, what he spied on is a power drama that circulates endlessly from the inside to the outside.
