I have been waiting for a promise all my life, and finally I have been waiting for it.
[The Promise of Green Plums] In the spring rain of that year, Shen Yanqing, a poor and talented man, climbed over the wall to send apricot flowers and made a vow that "I will not marry anyone who is not my wife."
Miss Lin Wantang put away her pen and ink and sewed her life's expectations into his travel bag.
[The road is long and distant] From being promoted to a successful candidate, to being a Jinshi, or becoming a high-ranking scholar, every step he takes is accompanied by the words "Wait for me."
The apricot blossoms in Chang'an City bloomed and faded. She waited from the age of sixteen to twenty-five, from being a minister's daughter to being an "old girl" in the eyes of the world, but the painting brush in her hand never stopped - those unsaid waitings finally created her own landscape on the rice paper.
On a rainy night, he knelt down outside the Lin Mansion for the first time since high school and begged to see him.
Inside the door, she calmly burned the letters she had accumulated for nine years: "Brother Yanqing, I can't wait any longer."
Outside the door, he never heard the words she once said: "Regardless of success or failure, I only hope for your safety."
[Another Kind of Fulfillment] When she married Zhou Huaijin, the second son of the founding prince, she only made one request: "I want to continue my calligraphy and painting academy."
He solemnly agreed and handed over a paper of equal marriage: "My wife, first of all, is Lin Wantang."
In mutual respect, she found a deeper understanding than childhood sweethearts - it turns out that the best love is not to give up the world for you, but to accompany you to see the bigger world.
