Heavy rain pours over a dark forest.Thunder rumbles in the distance.
A woman runs desperately through the trees, clutching a small basket tightly in her arms.Her breath is uneven, her steps shaky.
She keeps looking back.... as if someone is chasing her.
Reaching the edge of a fast-flowing river,she stops.
She falls to her knees, trembling.
Tears mix with the rain on her face.
"I'm sorry....my princess..."
She whispers, her voice breaking.
She gently opens the basket.Inside, a baby cries softly,
The woman hesitates....her hands shaking.
"This is the only way to save you...."
With a heavy heart, she places the basket into the river.
For a moment, she tries to hold on.....
....but slowly lets go.
The river carries the basket away into the darkness.
The woman collapses, crying.
[Next Scene]
Morning light breaks through the clouds.
An old man sits quietly near the river, fishing.
The sound of water flows peacefully.....
Suddenly-
A faint cry.
He looks up.
A basket floats toward him.
Curiosity turns into concern.
He stands and carefully pulls the basket from the river.
As he opens it-
He freezes.
A baby.
Alive.....crying.
"How did you get here....?"
He looks around.No one is there.
He pauses, thinking deeply.
(Inner voice)"Was she..... abandoned?"
The baby cries louder.
The old man's expression softens.
A smile appears on his face.
"If no one wants you....then I will."
He gently lifts the baby into his arms.
The old man slowly walks toward Yinxu village, holding the baby close.
The legendary genius Su Lianxin was reborn.
