Introduction to "Cinnabar Tears"
In the spring of the thirteenth year of Yonghe, Ning Wantang, the legitimate daughter of the general, caught a glimpse of Xie Yunzhao, a newly discovered flower, in the rain of apricot blossoms. She didn't know that this encounter was a well-designed revenge. The mutton-fat jade pendant as a token of love was the life-saving talisman that Ning Yuanshan personally gave to Xie's father ten years ago.
When Ning Wantang gave up his family's glory and married into the Xie family, Xie Yunzhao was using a red pen to outline the crimes of the Ning family. On the wedding night, he pinched the bride's chin and said, "Remember, this is the path you chose." In the wedding room where the red candles were burning, the wedding dress with twigs was stained even more brightly with blood.
When the news of Ning Yuanshan's collaboration with the enemy and treason came, Ning Wantang's fetus was just three months old. She took the poisoned wine in prison and watched the jade pendant glued by her husband fall to pieces. When she was about to die, she heard Xie Yunzhao hugging her and yelling: "I was wrong... I was wrong from the beginning..."
Ning Wantang, who came back from the dead with scars all over his body, embarked on a dangerous journey with his former enemies to find his father. In the wind and snow in northern Xinjiang, when Xie Yunzhao fell into the ice cave to protect her, Ning Wantang saw clearly the arrow scar on his heart - it was left by his father to save him ten years ago. And the blood book hidden in the jade pendant revealed a shocking secret during the late emperor's time...
This marriage that started with lies will eventually refine the truest love in blood and betrayal. When Ning Wantang stood on the edge of the cliff, facing her father's mutilated corpse and the antidote handed over by Xie Yunzhao, she finally understood: some love can only be seen after crossing the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.
