[Dual Male Leads + Equally Matched + Jianghu] A record of mountains and rivers entangles two families across three generations.
Shen Ji grew up burdened by his family’s troubled past, wandering the jianghu alone. He thought he would spend his whole life with only his blade for company.
Then, during a heavy snowfall in Suiye Town, he met Gu Changning.
The refined scholar quietly brewed medicine when Shen Ji was injured, stepped in front of him in times of danger, and shared wine with him beneath the moon, confiding all the thoughts he had kept to himself.
Shen Ji believed he had found a confidant to accompany him for life. He had no idea that Gu Changning harbored a shocking secret tied to both the imperial court and the jianghu.
He was the sole survivor of a family burdened with a grave injustice, and a spy with a mission to fulfill. Getting close to Shen Ji had been the most important step in his plan.
The winds at Zhaodan Terrace, the snows at Yanmen Pass, and the sandstorms of the northern frontier bore witness to their trials and tribulations, and their willingness to face death together.
When the truth finally came to light, the trust they had shared collapsed. Yet they realized that through countless days and nights at each other’s side, they had already carved themselves into one another’s lives.
In troubled times, the nation comes first.
Together, they repelled their enemies and quelled internal turmoil, clearing the names of the wronged and bringing peace to the people.
When all was settled, Gu Changning shed every one of his identities and returned to Suiye Town, where they had first met.
The spring breeze swept through the streets. He handed Shen Ji half a warm roasted sweet potato and smiled at the familiar figure.
“Shen Ji, this time there are no secrets and no mission. There’s only me.
Can we start over?”
