In the flames of the Anshi Rebellion, a girl who wrote "I am willing to win the person I love" finally learned to "cherish the people in front of me" throughout her life.
In the fifteenth year of Tianbao, before the city of Chang'an was destroyed, Shen Tan met Cui Yan in Qujiang Apricot Garden.
One is a talented girl from a noble and scholarly family, who is bright and intelligent, and her writing is full of flowers; the other is a young general from the Shangshu Mansion, who has been fighting hard in the Longyou military camp for three years, with scars on his hands and ravages in his heart. They were supposed to be two parallel lines that would never intersect, but after that glance, fate twisted them together.
However, troubled times cannot tolerate romance.
An Lushan's iron hoof broke through Tongguan, and Chang'an City became an isolated island overnight. Shen Tan did not go south with her father. She chose to stay in this city that was about to collapse, because she suddenly discovered that some things were more important than living.
From the peaceful and prosperous times to the raging war, from the rich clothes and fine food to the displacement. They once looked at each other across the apricot blossom forest, and held each other's hands and ran as fast as they could among the fleeing crowds. They have written the most beautiful poems, said the cruelest words, and made the most painful choices.
