Fox Embers

In the rose shadow, the fog-locked blade Qingli's armor was covered with cold frost, and blood stains formed scabs on the armor lines, like a shadow that couldn't be healed under her eyes. On the day of the massacre, the wind blew through the city towers, and as he stepped on the messy ground, he suddenly remembered the garden on the outskirts of the city - the girl in the white skirt squatted in front of the rose bushes, fingertips wet with morning dew and playing with the petals. The laughter of the child chasing butterflies behind her was so crisp that it could break the flames of war. When he went back, the girl was dividing the cake among the children, and she rolled her eyes when she saw him coming. She called her Ah Zhi and said this was a temporary refuge. Her tone was as gentle as if she was scared to disperse the wind. He didn't say his identity, but took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the teething baby. Looking at the broken hair hanging down from her temples when she lowered her head, she actually forgot that there was still human blood in the seams of her armor. Did she really not see it, or was she deliberately ignoring it? Later I went often, sometimes bringing wild fruits, sometimes just sitting and watching her water the flowers. On the day when the snake demon of the same race came to her, he instinctively stood in front of her. Only when the demonic power gathered on his fingertips did he realize: for this moment of warmth, he was actually willing to murder his fellow snake demon? The snake demon sneered before he died, and turned into ashes before he finished speaking. However, he looked at Ah Zhi's blank eyes, and a chill suddenly ran down his spine - what if she knew that her home was in those cities that were flattened by the demon clan? On the day when the transfer order came, he did not dare to say goodbye. Until he heard that the garden had been robbed, and when he galloped back, he only found Ah Zhi holding a piece of rag and shaking under the broken wall. She looked up at him, her eyes darkened, and there was an unexplainable question in her expression. Escorting her to the human capital, the whole journey was silent. One night she suddenly came closer, her breath was as light as a sigh, but he could tell from the look in her eyes: she already knew he was a demon. But she still followed him without flinching. Did she trust him completely, or did she have other motives? Arriving at the capital, when the shadow of the city gate fell, the Demon Emperor's secret order in his sleeve suddenly became hot - destroy the city within three days. He looked at the back of Ah Zhi feeding pigeons under the tower. The white dress mixed with the crowd made him feel more panicked than the moonlight on the battlefield. The wind blew the rose petals past the armor, and the red spot fell on the blood scab, like an unspoken omen. Concept: ancient romance, the pure love God of War appears!
