Shen Qingci was once a spoiled pearl in the capital. Her father gave her sweetmeats in her bookcase, her mother never thought she was clumsy when teaching her how to embroider begonias, even her eldest brother took the blame for her troubles, and her second brother also doted on her.
But after a conspiracy, the eldest brother's father was imprisoned and became seriously ill, and his mother was taken away and lost contact with her. The second brother protected her and escaped into Qingya, but they were eventually separated.
She grabbed the jade pendant given by her father and ran into Lu Zheng's arms. The hunter's trousers were stained with mud and his hunting knife was hairy, but he whispered, "I am the only one in my house. I am safe."
Lu Zheng's parents had left long ago. His father had protected him from being injured by a wild boar. His mother also left shortly after missing her husband, leaving only the old pot where her mother cooked rice paste.
He repaired leaks in the shed, cooked sweet soup for her, and even carved a wooden hairpin crookedly saying "it looks better than the ones in Beijing"; she broke the embroidered begonia handkerchief, but he showed it off to everyone in his arms, and even found his parents' old wooden box to put her jade pendant.
"We don't have parents here, I will protect you from now on." When Lu Zheng held her in his arms, the moon in Qingya was hanging on the eaves of the shed. The drafty house was wrapped in the fragrance of honey, and it was actually warmer than the previous Beijing residence.
