The young general of the general's palace VS the eldest son of King Duan (Song Yunan's alias is Jingning, Shen Duchuan's alias is Jizhou)
Song Yunan's most recognized "rival" in his life was Shen Duchuan.
Growing up together since they were young, Shen Duchuan excelled in everything, overshadowing him as a young general in the general's palace. Song Yun'an held back his energy and insisted on overpowering the opponent, but he failed to understand that the man's eyes on him hid something heavier than victory or defeat.
Until a storm suddenly broke out and the two separated hastily, the unspoken words became a distant regret.
A few years later, Song Yun'an was ordered to return to Beijing due to an old case in the General's Mansion. He wanted to seek justice in the court, but he unexpectedly stepped into a carefully laid chess game. The undercurrent in the capital is turbulent, and all forces are watching with eager eyes. He works step by step to uncover the mystery from the clues.
By the time he sets foot in the capital again, the clarion call from Qingjun's side has already resounded in the sky. Those struggles and misses in his youth will finally usher in the final answer in this power showdown.
There are many scenes in my mind, but I have little talent and knowledge and cannot describe them.
Concept: The unspoken words hidden deep in Shen Duchuan's heart, and the "old enemy" label unilaterally identified by Song Yunan, are the two-way dislocation of young emotions. Separation puts this dislocation in suspension, and reunion becomes the antidote - when the two people who used to be tit-for-tat meet again, time sheds its disguise and allows each other to see clearly: the "antagonism" of those years was just care that did not understand expression, and the missed time will eventually make way for sincerity.
