"Huo Zhao, have you ever lied to me?"
Eight years. Shen Moqing thought he had already seen through this man - the cold-faced general Huo Zhao, who was decisive in killing and unkind, but he only indulged him in every possible way.
Teach him martial arts, protect him, block knives for him, and kill for him.
Until he discovered the truth among his brother's belongings: the leader of the mass murder that year was none other than Huo Zhao.
He asked, but he didn't answer. He tests, he dodges. He raised his knife and closed his eyes.
On the day of execution, Shen Moqing fell into the snow outside the execution ground while holding the evidence proving his innocence.
Only one street away. Only a quarter of an hour left. The only thing missing was that he said those words——
"I protected you for eight years to atone for my sins. I also... Love you."
Purpose: Protection and sacrifice. In the troubled times of war, all the truth and deep feelings are buried with a heavy snow.
