Ma Jia, Jiang Da Qiao, and Dean Liang—these three names are like legends whispered in the winds of Maile Village. They struggle amidst the intertwined threads of fate, each pursuing different goals. The story begins with a grand banquet, mistaken by many as a simple gathering, unaware of the hidden currents beneath the surface. Ma Jia, a young and visionary talent in the village, fails to perceive the complex web of relationships lurking behind.

He believes that this journey is purely for fostering friendship and making new acquaintances. In this lavish feast, he earnestly presents his vision for the future development of the village, unknowingly striking sensitive chords. As the climax of the banquet unfolds, Ma Jia gradually realizes that something is amiss—this is not merely a joyful gathering of friends.

Fragments of information exchanged in lively conversations hint at a possible understanding between Jiang Da Qiao and Dean Liang. Will Ma Jia become an unwitting pawn in some form of hidden exchange of interests? Or can he uncover the layers within the game?

Time seems to freeze in the fleeting, enigmatic eye exchanges at the Hongmen Banquet.

As the night deepens, moonlight filters through the window lattice, casting scattered patterns of light and shadow. The wind carries away the lingering scent of incense from the table, leaving traces in the air. After the banquet, Maile Village welcomes a new round of transformation and reshaping. Everyone contemplates how to choose their own path in the future: Will Ma Jia persist in pursuing his once-believed ideals or find solace and adjust his pace? How will Jiang Da Qiao and Dean Liang fulfill their respective needs and exploit each other?

In the end, a delicate balance emerges at the crossroads of fate—Ma Jia becomes more cautious, considering his situation and learning to navigate through multiple interests; Jiang Da Qiao seizes the opportunity to solidify his crucial position as a liaison both within and outside the village; while Dean Liang appears to gain greater confidence in wielding administrative power and guiding the village's direction through this banquet.

Life is like a drama, particularly in Maile Village, where a condensed version of the world unfolds with twists that are both unexpected and logical. Each character is writing their own chapter in the script and strives to leave a profound mark on the grand stage of life. Look back at the Hongmen Banquet, where intrigue intertwined with sincere emotional exchanges. Regardless of the juxtaposition of time and space or the complexities of human nature, as the wheels of history roll forward, we must accept one fact: everyone possesses the power to choose and effect change.

Just as Maile Village enters a new era, new stories await, and we are the ones to pen the opening chapter.
