Synopsis

That year, the moon shone bright over the palace walls. A young man climbed over them, a skewer of candied hawthorns in his hand, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

“Ah Jiu, when I become a great general, I’ll marry you.”

Later, he really did become a great general.

On the day he returned victorious, he knelt before Father Emperor with his forehead pressed to the cold bluestone floor. For a long time, he did not get up.

Only then did I learn that seventy-one of the seventy-three members of the Xie family had died.

Only he and Shen Moli, far away in Jiangnan, were left.

Later, at a palace banquet, he draped his cloak over her shoulders.

The gesture was so natural, as if he had done it a thousand times.

That cloak used to be mine.

He said he had lost it.

So he hadn’t lost it after all.

He had simply given it to someone else.

I am Xiao Lingyi, the Ninth Princess of the current dynasty.

I waited seven years for Xie Linchuan.

What I got was not his promise, but the way he looked at another woman as if she were a mirror.

He said, “She’s all alone now.”

But I had only him left, too.

There are no young men left in this world; these mountains and rivers are all old dreams.
