When they met for the first time, Gu Anyun praised Xiao Liang for being beautiful.
When they met for the second time, she found that this beautiful child skipped classes, was lazy, had to be reminded when he endorsed, and dared to let a boy do it for him when writing - he was really the kind of person she despised the most.
It happened that Xiao Liang became attached to her from then on.
Gu Anyun was born in the Duke's Mansion of the State of Lu. He read military books and went to military camps since he was a child. The Gu family did not trap him in the inner house just because she was a woman; she learned from the Gu family and moved to the northern Xinjiang, from the spirit of a young man to the front of thousands of armies, and finally became the general who Zhenbei in the world.
Xiao Liang gradually grew up from the beautiful, arrogant and lonely Prince Anyang to a person who could stand alongside her.
He loves her with the domineering and possessiveness of a young man, but also with the restrained and sober perfection of an adult.
He never asked her if she was willing to put down the knife, nor did he turn his efforts into a bargaining chip to demand repayment from her.
She guards the mountains and rivers, and he guards the food routes, military supplies, and the way home;
She doesn't need anyone to protect her, but "no need" and "someone is willing to protect" are never the same thing.
Behind them is a large and lively Gu family: some are in the army, some are in officialdom, some are studying various trades, some are traveling far away; some are having a successful harvest, and some are rediscovering themselves in broken marriages...
From the morning bell of clan school to the beacon fire in northern Xinjiang, from the playfulness of teenagers to the storm in the court - this is the story of a group of children growing up individually and supporting each other. It is also a story of a gate that has gone through several generations and still protects the mountains and rivers with loyalty, responsibility and love.
The mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away, but luckily we have care.
