"Shen Yan, look at the snow in Chang'an, does it look like the moonlight that you and I buried with our own hands outside Xuanwu Gate?"
Seventeen-year-old Shen Yan is the most precious white moonlight in Su Heng's palm. He broke the first spring cherry tree in Chang'an for him, blocked the sword light in the dark alley for him, and even when the family was overthrown, he was willing to be imprisoned in the Su Mansion as the "son of a traitor" just to exchange for his stability for the rest of his life. But Su Heng didn't know that the word "collaboration with the enemy" in the blood-stained secret letter that night was false evidence that Shen Yan had bought with half his life; he even didn't know that the poisonous wine he personally sent was the "talisman" Shen Yan had prepared for him long ago - only by making him hate himself could he survive the struggle for power.
Three years later, Shen Yan returned to Chang'an as an enemy counselor and stood on the city tower to see Su Heng wearing golden armor, becoming the new emperor's most trusted general. In the shadow of the sword, Su Heng's spear pierced his shoulder blade, but stopped suddenly when it touched the half-broken jade pendant in his arms - it was the token that he personally tied around his waist for Shen Yan, with a line of small words engraved on the back: "See you every year."
When the truth was torn apart like peeling an onion, they discovered that each other was already the sharpest knife and the only light in each other's lives. But a sea of blood and hatred lies ahead, and family honor and disgrace follow closely. Should they hold hands and go to hell together, or let this love sink into the abyss completely?
"Su Heng, if there is an afterlife, don't meet me again."
"Shen Yan, if there is an afterlife... I will still find you, even if you are in hell."
