Synopsis
Your way is to protect these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and my way is to protect you in the mountains and rivers. " I am Su Wan, a sick young man who was predicted not to survive until the twelfth lunar month. I fell in love with Daliang's God of War, Shen Han. She hates my delicateness and hates my obsession. I swallowed the bitter medicine to strengthen her body; I put away my squeamishness and fought in the den of tigers and wolves for her. She wants to protect the world, so I will plan the world for her. Even if the plan ends, everyone in the world will become my pawns. The world laughs at me for being stupid and ridicules me for being presumptuous. No one knows—— Every triumphant report of hers was paved with secret messages embroidered by me while coughing up blood; Every inch of stable territory behind her has thorns that I have secretly swept away for her, using my diseased bones as blades. It wasn't until she was about to die for this world that I held her wrist bones and told her word by word: "Chen Han, you see clearly. If you want to sacrifice your way, you can. But on the road to hell, your way will not accompany you, I will." Later, in the Golden Palace, she removed my armor and seals and wore my own red makeup. The history books are meticulously written, and one might lament that the general misled the country because of his love. Only I know—— She didn't abandon the mountains and rivers, she just finally found a "country" worth protecting more than the mountains and rivers. Concept: It takes the core selection of the characters as the starting point, progresses layer by layer, and finally reaches a landing point that transcends traditional narratives: The core concept of the work "Mountains and Rivers for Employment" is that personal love and the righteousness of the family and country are not opposed. The true "righteousness" begins with the responsibility for the people of the world and ends with the protection and fulfillment of a specific person. This intention is specifically demonstrated through the levels of the trinity: 1. The first level: choice (showing contrast) · Shen Han: Her choice is to "hold the sword for the common people." This is the classical heroic, extroverted, and encyclopedic Tao. Her original belief was to sacrifice the small self to achieve the greater self. · Su Wan: Her choice is to "guard the world for you." This is the personal, introverted, focused Tao. Her initial belief is that you are the world that means everything to me. 2. Second level: Fusion (complete unification) When Shen Han wanted to die for the common people, Su Wan used her life to prove to her that "protecting you" itself is the most powerful practice of "protecting the common people". Shen Han finally realized that the mountains and rivers she protected would lose their warmth and meaning without the specific person she wanted to protect. The righteousness of family and country and personal love are unified at this moment. 3. The third level: Transcendence (reaching a new realm) In the end, the story does not stop at the simple romance of "giving up the world for one person", but reaches a deeper realm: true freedom and strength are not about possessions, but the ability to "choose to let go" and "redefine". By handing back the soldier talisman, Shen Han put down the symbol of the "God of War", but used the true identity of "Chen Han" to redefine the meaning of "guarding" - from a mission driven by responsibility to a voluntariness driven by love. The "country" she protected took on the appearance of Su Wan from then on. In one sentence, this is a story about "what is true guardianship". It tells how two women broke through the shackles of identity, gender and destiny in their own ways, and finally found in each other a belief that is more solid and humane than traditional "righteousness" - loving someone means loving the world with her.
