Zhao Ji had been decisive in killing all his life, but on that night in the deep forest locked in fog, he felt the only deep feeling in his life towards a woman who was in panic looking for a girl.
Her eyes were filled with tears, her black hair was scattered, and her strange and beautiful clothes were soaked by the night dew but could not conceal her unparalleled elegance. Like a world-famous peony that suddenly left the fertile soil and was on the verge of withering, he just wanted to pick it up carefully, move it back to his palace of gold and jade, and spend the rest of his life watering it carefully.
He gave her unique honor and sincerity, but she always stared at the origin that he couldn't understand. He thought he would be able to warm her up one day, but it was not until she took her daughter and turned her back to him toward the mist that he realized that the whole world he gave her was not as good as the wild forest when she came.
For Cui Yao, every step through troubled times is like walking on thin ice.
The powerful man in Youzhou gave her protection, gave her his sincerity, and regarded their mother and daughter as treasures. His love is hot and magnanimous, like the warmest harbor.
But she comes from a world where women are independent, self-respecting and have a broad sky. No matter how true his love is, no matter how warm his palace of gold and jade is, it can't change the fact that it is a prison where the husband needs to be shared and the daughter is dependent on her fate again and again.
Until her daughter's accident shattered her last chance of luck, she finally understood that her high self-esteem was worthless in the face of survival.
That night, the moonlight was like water. Holding a lamp in her bare hands and winding cloud sleeves, she walked step by step towards the man who could give her mother a way out.
Once she entered the situation, she used the name of a concubine to act as a counselor - reorganizing his finances, rallying people's hearts, and smoothing out government orders. She devoted all her modern wisdom not only to repay her kindness, but also to pave a way to bring her daughter home.
Purpose: He offered the palace of gold and jade to pray for eternal life; she hid her heartbeat just to protect her young daughter, overcome the obstacles, and return to her hometown.
