In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, the sky was full of sycamore trees in Peiping, and they also brought disaster to Shen Zhiyi's life.
She was originally the eldest daughter of a Peking family, but in the age of war, she met the young man who allowed her to "live in a small house near the water, year after year."
Those stolen years were as sweet as honey, but they were also tempered with the strongest poison.
He promised her "even if I crawl, I will crawl back to marry you", but he turned around and turned into a lonely ghost on the battlefield; she guarded the tombstone and spent the rest of her life in Lingchi with a drop of blood.
The family and the country have missed each other, and life and death are separated by the world of mortals.
He served well in protecting the land, but it became a permanent scar on her heart; she was deeply in love and died, and in the end she could only hold an old photo with the bones as evidence, waiting for a spring that would never return.
In this life, the mountains and rivers are still there, but the old friends have not returned.
