Synopsis
At the end of the Great Qi Dynasty, the imperial power was in decline, and the struggle for the throne stirred up undercurrents in the capital. Everyone was trying to make a living and gamble on their future in the whirlpool. Shen Yan, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, is a tough guy who climbed out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain at the border. He joined the army at the age of fifteen, and acquired this armor with his military exploits. He has no party or affiliation, and would rather break than bend. It is the sharpest and cleanest sword in the capital. No one knew that he had hidden a deep hatred for his whole family and had been hiding incognito for more than ten years, working every step of the way, just waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. But he didn't expect that before he could get the chance for revenge, he would first fall into half an ice peach handed to him by King Jing Xiao Heng. Everyone in the court knew that King Jing Xiao Heng and his concubine died young and were frail and sick. He was an idle prince who had no intention of fighting for power and only cared about romance. His temperament was as gentle as a spring water, and even the palace people dared to joke with him. Only Shen Yan could see through the turbulent calculations under this frail skin, and the undeniable strength hidden in the gentle smile. He used his cough as a shield, gentleness as a spear, and a half-bitten sweet peach to break through Shen Yan's strict rules of monarch and minister again and again, breaking down the straight man's defense line that was carved into his bones and blood. Shen Yan thought that he was a chess player seeking revenge, using Xiao Heng's authority to pave his own path, but he didn't know that from the moment he took over the half peach, he became the only destination that the opponent wanted in the chess game that he had been planning for half his life. The first temptation in the imperial garden, the life and death dependence of Chengtianmen, the shock every step of the capital, and the longing for thousands of miles at the border. Everyone in the world said that the favor of the deep palace is easy to scatter, and the sincerity of Ping Shui is hard to keep, but they insist on taking half a peach as a contract and the rest of their lives as a promise, and amidst the bloody changes of imperial power, they will maintain an endless relationship year after year. Intention: Based on the allusion of "Splitting the Peach", it reverses the tragic background of the original allusion of "the decline of love and the impermanence of kindness". The "Yu Peach", which was originally attached to the imperial power and had a flattering connotation, was transformed into a sincere delivery of equality between two independent souls - handing out half a peach is the candor of removing the disguise, and receiving half a peach is acceptance that breaks the worldly barriers. The story strips away the shackles of gender, monarch and minister, and superiority, and depicts a two-way journey that has nothing to do with identity, but only concerns the sincerity, giving the derogatory classic allusions new warmth and dignity.
