What is it like to be the only confidant who knows every tragic ending awaiting you, yet cannot speak of any of it? Is it a blessing, or the cruelest punishment?
Pei Shiyin, a history student, transmigrates to the flourishing Tang dynasty and becomes Wang Wei’s kindred spirit.
She knows all the poems he will write and foresees the trials fate has in store for him, from political infighting to the An Lushan Rebellion, and finally the disgrace of being branded a traitor.
The cruelty of history is this: the deeper your love, the less you can reveal.
All she can do is quietly appear each time he hits rock bottom, becoming the only light in his despair.
And in her understanding that transcends her era, he entrusts her with his lonely life.
From their first meeting in Chang’an to their life together in Wangchuan, from being separated in an age of turmoil to reuniting in old age,
She is the brightest moon in his poems, and the most silent mystery in his fate.
