Jiang Zhenyan: I am a woman, but I choose to live my life as a man. This is not called "pretending", this is called "who I choose to be".
Xie Yundu: I like you, no matter whether you are a boy or a girl. This is not called "cut sleeves", this is called "I like you as a person".
She is the seventh young master of the Jiang family in the capital. She has been disguised as a man for more than 20 years. She is proficient in riding and shooting accounts and is praised as "the first young master in the capital". He is the prince of Zhennan, a "living king of hell" who kills decisively at the border. After returning to the capital, he only loves to play chess in her house.
At first, he just thought this person was interesting. Playing chess, horse racing, chatting, and unknowingly getting deeper and deeper into the trap. He suspected that he had a broken sleeve, and after struggling painfully, he admitted that the person he liked was not a man or a woman, but Jiang Zhenyan.
She thought it was perfectly hidden. He didn't know that she walked in front of him every day, with her neckline tightly buttoned and her Adam's apple painted on. They went from being confidants to being ambiguous, from holding hands to sharing the same bed. He held her and his heart beat like thunder, but he never discovered the secret hidden under that layer of clothing.
Until one day in the morning light, she let down her long hair and stood in front of him.
She didn't cry, and he didn't ask. He just stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.
This is a story about hiding and seeking, waiting and keeping. She had hidden her for half her life, and he had been searching for her for half his life. Both of them suffered for a long time, but fortunately, in the end, they were no longer suffering.
