[BE➕Feelings of Family and Country➕Love and Kill Each Other➕Group Portraits]
I was summoned to the palace by the emperor's uncle, who was called to educate me, but was actually a hostage under house arrest.
After seven years in the palace, the wind and snow at Yanmen Pass brought the most piercing bad news.
My father, the general who guarded the border for decades, died in a rain of enemy arrows due to the villain's frame-up and the emperor's suspicion, with no trace of his body left.
My mother was so distraught that she jumped from the city wall.
The elder sister-in-law was defiled and died together with her nephew under the enemy's dagger.
…
Our loyal souls of the Song family are never afraid of death. The eldest brother defended the city gate to cut off his queen. The enemy's spear passed through his throat, but he did not let go of the weapon in his hand until his death.
The second brother escorted the grain team to the desert and was attacked by wolves. In the end, only the blood-stained armor was left, proving that he had fought hard for his country.
The third brother was weak since he was a child and could not even draw a bow. However, the stigma of "treason" in the family was overwhelming. He still insisted on wearing armor and went into battle. In the end, he was stabbed in the throat by the enemy and fell to the ground where his father and brother had shed blood.
In that winter when the cold wind carried snow particles, I stayed in a foreign land forever, and I was never able to set foot on an inch of my homeland again.
