Su Xiaoxiao was the daughter of Lingnan’s richest man. At seventeen, she fell in love at first sight with Shen Qingfeng, who had been framed, shackled, and exiled a thousand miles away.
She left behind a life of luxury to follow him, braving desperate situations and storms. From a delicate young lady, she became a formidable woman capable of protecting her country, helping him clear his name and bring the land under control.
But after he achieved fame and success, she never married, keeping all her love hidden for the rest of her life.
Everyone thought it was he, burdened by false accusations, who walked in chains.
They never knew that from the moment her heart stirred, she too had shackled herself with invisible chains.
In truth, every one of us walks in chains. For someone we cannot let go of, for an obsession buried deep in our hearts, for a love we quietly hold on to.
The heaviest chains are never the iron ones on our bodies. They are feelings we cannot voice, sincere love we willingly give despite knowing it will come to nothing, and the loneliness and devotion of loving only one person for a lifetime.
He was never the only one to walk in chains. There was also her, and all of us who have loved deeply and stayed true.
