The day he picked her up, the Forbidden City was ablaze.
Shen Yanshu thought that he just saved a homeless girl with amnesia. She is well-behaved and tenacious, like a beam of light illuminating the gloomy life of this little postman. He named her Ajiu, and just wanted to be with her in troubled times and protect her.
Until that day, she accidentally saw the report of the army fleeing south. She ran her fingertips across Shanhaiguan on the map and asked softly: "This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Why not defend it?"
At that moment, Shen Yanshu knew that what he had picked up was not an orphan in distress.
She is the last backbone of the Ming Dynasty, and the sharpest sword trained by Emperor Chongzhen himself - the princess of the prison country, Zhu Ai.
On a full moon night, she left without saying goodbye, leaving only a note: "Yanshu, forget me."
He traveled thousands of miles of blood and found her in front of Ten Thousand Arms' Tent. She was dressed plainly, and there was no innocence between her brows.
He knelt down on one knee and said: "Caomin Shen Yanshu, I am willing to die for Her Royal Highness the Princess."
But she helped him up and smiled with tears in her eyes: "I don't want you to die for me. I want you to live and see how I can protect this mountain and river."
The mountains and rivers are broken, you are the last hometown.
But I can't go back to my hometown after all.
