[Clear-headed, powerful heroine: the legitimate daughter of the chancellor’s household, reduced to a courtesan and bent on revenge for love × Childhood sweetheart hero who appears in no more than ten chapters]
Qin Jin was the legitimate daughter of the chancellor’s household and childhood friends with the Third Prince. When she came of age, they naturally married.
They were young spouses, deeply in love and devoted to each other.
But later, the Second Prince launched a rebellion, killing the Xie imperial clan, including Xie Sishen.
She hated it. She began to hate the imperial family, and him as well.
So she made her plans, fell into the life of a courtesan, and plotted with her nephew to be exiled to Lingnan. In Lingnan, she schemed to raise an army, all so she could kill the new emperor.
But then she had a very long dream. She dreamed of all the moments she had shared with Xie Sishen: a radiant, spirited young man, handsome and dashing on horseback. They had been young spouses, deeply in love and devoted to each other, believing they would be together forever.
In the dream, Xie Sishen said, “Jinzhi, don’t suffer because of me. My Jinzhi is meant to be the happiest girl in the world. You are yourself, and you are also my Jinzhi.”
“Be good. Wake up, and forget me.”
Qin Jin: “You said Chang’an had me, so you loved Chang’an. But without you in Chang’an, no one will love me anymore.”
When she awoke, she discovered that Xie Sishen had died long ago.
So it had all been a dream.
It’s all right, it’s all right. The dream is over. I’m coming to find you.
He said, “Chang’an had you, so I loved the Chang’an that had you.”
“A Jin, I’ll give you a spring of flowers and an autumn of harvests. From now on, you’ll be my spring.”
“I’ll give you a hairpin engraved with the flower of your life.”
“Jinzhi, I only love a spring that has you in it.”
