His father killed her father.
But he still knelt in front of her.
At the Lantern Festival that year, she was the only daughter of the King of Jin who sneaked out of the palace, and he was the major general who was ordered to be on duty.
A revolving door, a goose velvet flower, she lost her heart to a general in silver armor.
Later, her father launched an army to kill the king, and she turned from a wealthy woman into an orphaned girl overnight.
On the eve of his execution, he went to the prison alone and handed over the phoenix hairpin:
"I am willing to exchange ten years of military service for the princess's life."
She melted the phoenix hairpin into gold water in front of him:
"Yuwen Chengdu, you owe me everything you owe me, and you can't pay it back in this lifetime."
He knelt in the snow and looked up at her. Heavy snow fell all over him:
"What about the next life?"
At the foot of Purple Mountain, the gold-plated phoenix wings were broken into two pieces.
He fell in a pool of blood and took one last look at the direction she was running to, and said two words silently.
Many years later, in the small courtyard in the west of Chang'an City, she opened the courtyard door and walked into spring.
There is a phoenix hairpin on the bun, with a line of small words engraved on the tail:
"My wife is as happy as she wants."
