The Legend of Sword and Fairy Prequel

Situ Zhong is a cynical martial artist and a student of the Shushan School who views the world as a game. He has developed his own unique sword technique known as Bacchus. For two years, he has been haunted by nightly dreams of his lover dying in front of him. These visions are linked to a gap in his memory, as he cannot recall three days leading up to a specific date in the lunar calendar from two years prior.

Produced by Tencent Video and Youku, the movie has a total runtime of 92 minutes. It was released on February 20, 2024.
