It is a non-refreshing novel, an ancient novel without routines, a complete book of fictional history, fantasy adventure, martial arts: plotting, male and female protagonists, multi-person dialogue, the 23rd year of the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Spring and Jingming.
The banks of Qujiang Pool are already busy with cars and ladies. It had only been three days since the announcement of the new examinations, and the excitement of the Yan Pagoda's inscriptions had not yet faded away, and the excitement of the Qujiang Banquet took over. The fresh green willow silk on the shore brushes against the railings of the painted boats, and the boats in the pool are like weaving. The sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music floats along the warm wind, mixed with the smell of wine and powder, creating the unique prosperity of Chang'an.
Shen Zhiwei stood under a weeping willow tree on the shore, unconsciously twisting the jade pendant tied around his waist with his fingertips. The jade pendant was made of fine mutton-fat white jade, carved into a budding magnolia, with warm tentacles. It was originally a thought left to him by his mother. The prosperity of Chang'an still flickers in my memory, but the smoky figure by the Qujiang Pool seems particularly blurry at this moment. He looked up at the waning moon in the sky, feeling that the road ahead was confusing, and that perhaps what was waiting for him was an unpredictable storm. The story revolves around Shen Zhiwei's encounter in Xizhou, Pei Jingyao's true identity and purpose, and the reason why Cui Luoyan was banned. It gradually reveals the entanglement of various forces and integrates the silk trade and ethnic relations of the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty.
