Sleepless Night

In the 18th year of the Republic of China, Tianjin Wei. Shen Zhiyi lived under someone else's roof for six years and lived like a shadow of the Gu family. Until that man named Pei Jingzhou appeared—— He picked up the scattered things for her, put a warm coat on her, and when she was despised by everyone, he looked seriously into her eyes and said, "Shen Zhiyi, you are fine." She thought this was the end of all hardships. He taught her to ride horses, taught her to dance, and was the first to stand in front of her when she was bullied. He said, "You can take care of my business," and he said, "I'll wait for you to grow up." She remembered every word he said, and every word was engraved in her bones. But her cousin told her: "Do you know why he approached you? Because of the Gu family's cloth shop, and because of the military supply order he wanted. You are just a chess piece." She didn't believe it and ran to ask him. He didn't deny it. The wind in Tianjin Port was so strong that night that she stood on the edge of the pier and threw the love bracelet into the sea. There were no footsteps chasing behind me, only the long and short sound of the whistle, like someone crying. When we meet again five years later, he is a powerful young marshal and she is a spy sent by the enemy. His gun was pressed between her eyebrows, but his fingertips were trembling. "Shen Zhiyi," he asked in a hoarse voice, "do you have a heart?" She smiled, tears falling down her cheeks as she smiled: "Young Marshal Pei, the one with a heart, died five years ago." Love in the Republic of China was tragic in nine cases out of ten. Deep love in troubled times never ends well.
