An ancestral bronze mirror reflects the three paths forward for Mei Wenjun, a daughter of the Han Dynasty: the glory of the royal palace, staying together in Nanyang, or an unsolved mystery of heavy snowfall and nine gates chasing her.
On the eve of her wedding, she cut off her black hair and rode a horse with reform leader Fang Huairen in red, causing a sensation in the capital. The whole city was in an uproar - was this a shocking elopement or a well-designed attempt to hide the truth?
He is the sharpest edge in her chess game, and she is the most deadly chess piece in the boudoir. Three thousand coded love letters from the Book of Songs hide secret reports that can reverse the current situation; the looming third road in the mirror points to the heavy snowfall that swept across the city on Lantern Festival Eve in 1912.
There are only eight words recorded in the history books: "The two rebels have disappeared."
There are two versions circulating in the market: the gunshots at the execution ground shook the pear blossoms, or the familiar back figures under the moonlight on the Bund...
"If Qingshan remembers, the pear blossoms will bloom every year."
"If the history books forget - that's just what I want."
