Shen Qingshu, a saint from southern Xinjiang, came to Beijing as a hostage for her whole family. She reunited with the regent Lu Siyuan who saved her life seven years ago and gave her half a jade pendant. At that time, the spring was warm in the bamboo house, and he had promised that "I will welcome you back"; but now the palace is deep, but his eyes are cold and distant, and he regards her as a pawn to check and balance the southern border.
She used Gu magic as a blade to protect his life in the turbulent court; he used authority as a shield to cover up her traces in the deep palace with open guns and hidden arrows. The old scar on the left chest is the mark of life and death, and the deep meaning in the eyes is the feeling of letting go. But the country and the clan are separated by mountains and abyss, burying all the unhealed emotional wounds and unspoken protections into the long night.
She fed the Gu with her heart and blood in exchange for his recovery from injuries, and the green hair turned into snow was the price of the love Gu's backlash; he used the red pen to suppress all the memorials to impeach her, and he did not regret the reputation of being fatuous. Until the war broke out at the border, a carefully constructed "secret letter of collaboration with the enemy" forced her into a desperate situation. On the night when the snow fell on the palace wall, she burned the last bit of sincerity and attachment in her life, and left him a message: "When we go to Changyuan, we will die, and we will never see each other again."
When he traversed the mountains and rivers and finally found the wisp of Gu ashes that was about to dissipate, he finally realized that she sacrificed her life on the scroll of mountains and rivers that he had spent his whole life to protect. What was carved in the end was never hatred, but the "love" that he had never been able to express in his life.
Intention: Love is the most intense in the unspeakable shackles, and the most tragic in the impossible choice.
