Xie Zhenqiu, a down-and-out musician, picked up a man covered in blood in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
When the man woke up, he called himself "A Zhan" and lost all his memory. Only the jade pendant on his waist was engraved with the emblem of the previous royal family.
Xie Zhenqiu originally wanted to send this hot potato away, but one rainy night, she heard a man with amnesia repeatedly murmuring a poem in a coma:
"The world will never be sad for a long time... Take a pillow in autumn."
——That was the last sentence he wrote to himself when he was forced to close his piano ten years ago.
Everyone knows that the former prince Chu Zhan died in a palace fire, and even the history books have concluded it.
Little did he know that the new emperor had been secretly searching for him for five years. When he found him in the south of the Yangtze River, he saw Xie Zhenqiu dressed in plain clothes sitting in a teahouse playing the piano, followed by a man in commoner clothes with deep eyebrows.
The new emperor smiled and asked: "Sir, your piano skills are outstanding. Who is this person next to you?"
Xie Zhenqiu's fingertips didn't stop: "My wife, A Zhan."
And the prince of the former dynasty, who was rumored to be as gentle as jade, was lowering his head to peel water chestnuts for him, and the cold light of the dagger loomed in his sleeve.
Later, on the day when the truth was revealed to the world, Chu Zhan regained all his memories and remembered how he used Xie Zhenqiu to make a living.
He knelt beside the Xie Zhenqiu Qin stage in front of thousands of soldiers and horses, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, if you want this country, I will take it for you. If you hate me, sir, I will kill you at the neck. I just ask... Don't drive me away."
Xie Zhenqiu lowered his eyes and tuned the strings. After a long time, he put a warm jade pendant into his palm.
"Chu Zhan," he called his full name for the first time, his voice as soft as a sigh, "you owe me ten years."
"It will take a lifetime and you will pay it back slowly."
Food guide:
1. The gentle and sober musician Shou (Xie Zhenqiu) x the amnesiac former prince Gong (Chu Zhan/A Zhan), 1v1, HE
2. The reunion of the two heroes, amnesia plot + slight intrigue, the sour and refreshing pursuit of his wife in the crematorium
3. Imitate the Song and Ming dynasties in an imaginary way, and try my best to pay attention to details such as music and tea art.
Intention: Love is the courage to still choose to believe after being used and betrayed, and it is the hands that must be held tightly even if one puts down the country.
