[Childhood sweethearts are all like swords, and rough generals take out their hearts]
Shen Chunli believed that her sixteen-year childhood sweetheart with Lu Chenzhou was the most secure consummation in the capital. It was not until the imperial edict of marriage came down that she understood: his gentleness was perfunctory, his promise was empty, and he was reluctant to give even a single word of excuse.
The Lantern Festival abandoned her to protect the princess, but granted her a marriage and left her to keep her empty promise. Lu Chenzhou's dignity has always been based on her grievances.
"I am not anyone's fiancée, I am Shen Chunli."
She left everything in the capital and returned to the south of the Yangtze River to take charge of the salt industry. From a down-and-out daughter who was ridiculed as a "merchant girl" to boss Shen who was in charge of the North-South Salt Road, she turned over the bad books, defeated corrupt officials, and became her backer.
And Gu Yanci, who had remembered her for eleven years, was always standing behind her:
When someone insulted her, he simply said, "Go on, I'll settle the score." The whole audience fell silent;
When she entered the business world, he would accompany her to the pier, neither forcing nor disturbing her, just being her source of confidence;
She decides the outcome, and he says, "Want to live together? I'm lucky, I can afford to wait." A direct shot breaks through all the hesitations.
When Lu Chenzhou suddenly woke up, the pear tree in Jiangnan had moved, and his place had long disappeared beside Shen Chunli. He dug up the pear tree and planted it in the capital. He looked at it day by day and felt pain every day. Finally he realized that the person he thought would be waiting for him had already gone to someone worthy of him.
During the border battle, Shen Chunli rushed to Yanmen Pass, smashed the account books to take control of the military supplies, and became a god in one battle. At the celebration banquet, she chose Gu Yanci in public and said loudly: "I don't want to win if I don't deserve it, I just want to win together."
The belated pear blossoms finally bear fruit, the green plums wither, and the bamboo horses grow old. In this world, she is side by side with her beloved, watching the spring mountain pear snow together.
