She fell into the city like catkins, and he was hit by an arrow like an avalanche, and they slept together in the first snowstorm that year.
In the twelfth year of Yuanping in the Great Yan Dynasty, snow fell in Yong'an Hall.
The unpopular ninth princess Yan Qingxi handed a piece of birthday cake to the enemy's proton who was kneeling in the snow - Xiao Ce, the prince of Northern Liang. That was the first warmth he received in the three years since he became a prisoner.
He said: "Princess' kindness will be engraved in my heart."
But she didn't know that part of this "remembering" was true and part was a trick.
Three years later, Beiliang cavalry broke through the gate of Dayan. On the day the city fell, Xiao Ce wore armor and pointed the tip of his sword at her father and brother with his own hands. Yan Qingxi jumped down from the tower wearing the wedding dress she wore when they got engaged.
In the wind and snow, Xiao Ce galloped on his horse, using his body as a shield to block thousands of arrows from piercing her heart.
"I planned the world, but I made a mistake - I will fall in love with you."
They met in the wind and snow, and finally fell asleep in the wind and snow. When the snow melts next year, no one will know that buried under the city wall is a pair of lovers who could not embrace each other until death.
The heavy snowfall covered the two bodies hugging each other under the tower.
The next day, Beiliang soldiers dug out their commander-in-chief and the enemy princess who was tightly guarding him in his arms. They couldn't separate the two.
The deputy general sighed: "Let them... Be together."
They did not erect a monument, but buried them together in the snow.
The next spring, when the snow melted, a wintersweet bloomed on the unknown grave. It is said that it was the favorite flower of Princess Dayan Ninth during her lifetime.
Intention: Double death is perfection
