1. When we first met under the rose frame, we already had sharp edges and secret thorns.
The young man Xie Heng stuffed the wooden comb engraved with roses into Zhaohua's palm. In the shadow of the flowers in Taifu's Mansion, their chestnut hair was tangled in the wind.
2. Deep-rooted love breeds doubts, and you mistake your sincerity for fake chess
The red candles on the wedding night reflected Xie Heng's ink-stained hair. Behind his deliberate indifference were the silver teeth that were bitten during a drug addiction attack. Zhaohua's broken hosta cut open his cuffs, and his scarred arm was tattooed with a snake-shaped birthmark that had the same origin as hers.
3. Blood splattered on Qingjie, the mystery was broken, and the liver and gallbladder understood each other in the mirror
The arrows from the canonization ceremony pierced through the sleeves, and hidden in the rose-patterned arrowheads was the peace charm that Xie Heng had bought with his drug addiction.
4. The dust has settled and the storm has subsided, and old thorns have sprouted and new ones have appeared.
In the flower fields in the south of the Yangtze River, three-color lotuses bloomed against the morning dew. In the dewdrops in the center of the flowers, two chestnut-haired old men and a group of children reading the Analects of Confucius were reflected. The wind chimes under the eaves were still singing: "Rose has thorns and also has fragrance; people's hearts have resentment, but also have light."
