She is an orphan of the Su family. She sneaked into the Gu Mansion under a pseudonym just to find out the truth about the family's destruction.
He is the young marshal of the Gu family, the "Jade-faced Yama" who kills many people, but he has hidden half of the broken jade close to his body for ten years.
The day they first met, he came back from the battlefield covered in blood and passed her by.
She smelled the bloody smell on his body and thought of the boy who was about to starve to death on a rainy night.
He didn't recognize her, but he remembered her eyes.
Later, he checked her, tested her, and pressed her harder and harder.
Later, she lied to him, used him, and cut out his heart.
The cruelest blow was when she left a letter to fake her own death and jumped into the Huangpu River.
The craziest night was when he dug deep into the ruins and found the letter of explanation that she would not be able to send in the future——
"Gu Yanzhi, I'm not here to kill you. I'm here... To love you."
But she could never send this letter.
Shanghai fell and war raged.
He led his army to resist the enemy and defended the isolated city.
She went deep behind enemy lines and narrowly escaped death.
When they met again, he put a gun to her heart.
She smiled and pressed the muzzle of his gun tighter: "Shoot. After firing this shot, we will clear both sides."
His eyes were red and his hands were shaking.
The gun didn't go off.
She fell.
"In the next life... You don't want to be a warlord, and I won't be an orphan either."
"We'll buy a small yard in Suzhou and plant a whole yard of sweet-scented osmanthus."
"Every autumn... Bring me a basket of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."
"Is it good?"
——Okay.
——I will wait for you in the next life.
