In the eleventh year of Tianbao, Chang'an.
Pei Yun is the head matron of the Zheng family. Her husband is cowardly and the family is eyeing her. She single-handedly supports the crumbling family. Shen Huaijin was a general who returned from Longyou. Because he wrote a letter predicting that An Lushan would be demoted and idle, he waited alone in the undercurrent of Chang'an.
In the willow-colored depths of Qujiang, they met by chance. Two people who were also holding on and unwilling to admit defeat remembered each other.
The prosperous age is about to collapse, and the mountains and rivers are about to be broken. They were separated and reunited in troubled times, and protected what they each cherished in the flames of war - she protected the family and the lives of others, and he protected the territory and the morality in his heart.
When the last mountains and rivers were reflected in each other's eyes, they understood: the deepest love in the world is not to embrace each other, but to each hold up a piece of sky, and then leave a light for the other on top of the ruins.
This million-word epic, with the Anshi Rebellion as the background, describes the prosperity and devastation of an era, as well as the protection and reunion of two souls in the torrent of history.
