Old Dreams Are Hard to Find

The Republic of China was in turmoil. He was the son of a warlord, burdened by the shackles of his family, and had a gentle heart but could not help himself. She was the daughter of a merchant, immersed in the etiquette of the boudoir, with pure eyes but timid to fight. A fleeting encounter ignites the glimmer of light in troubled times. They secretly hid the ginkgo as a letter and secretly arranged to meet in the alley, believing that gentleness can withstand the pressure of power and sincerity can withstand the torrent of the times. But the family's iron fist, factional strife, and random misunderstandings eventually became a sharp knife through the intestines. He struggled between loyalty, filial piety and love, while she withered in obedience and desire. When the smoke cleared, only the ruins of the old land remained. The cut jade and the dead leaf eventually became a dream that he could not afford to pick up for the rest of his life - it turned out that the most painful thing was not not loving each other, but loving to the extreme, but could only watch each other being crushed by fate, and even saying goodbye was a luxury.
