When the boy first met, during the Lantern Festival, fireworks filled the city.
Shen Zhiwan, a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, met Xie Linyuan, a dormant and forbearing young man. At that time, he had not yet gained power and was a lonely man, but he gave all his tenderness to her.
He promised her a lifetime of stability, protected her from worries throughout the years, held her in the palm of his hand, and hid his only preference in his eyes.
The young love was passionate and pure, the spring breeze knew it, and the stars fell into dreams. They were once a couple of gods and gods that everyone envied, sweet to the core.
But the court is turbulent, the desire for power is overwhelming, suspicions are rife, and misunderstandings abound.
What was once gentle and affectionate has slowly turned into paranoid confinement, with possession and hurt intertwined.
He fought for authority step by step, pushed her away with his own hands, and stabbed the person he loved most in the sharpest way.
Love is worn away, trust is shattered into dust, and a heart full of joy turns into a heart full of devastation.
When all the tenderness comes to an end, only devastation remains.
Shen Zhiwan was heartbroken and pulled away, losing all enthusiasm. From then on, he became cold and self-possessed, never to see him again.
Xie Linyuan held thousands of miles of land in his hands and had supreme power, but he lost his evening star.
For the rest of his life, he was trapped in endless regret, guarding an empty city, thinking about an old friend,
It turns out that it is sweet at first and then bitter. The most painful thing is never parting, it is what you once had and then have nothing in the end.
Purpose: To explore the possession and restraint in ultimate love, to show the trust and suspicion in love, to interpret the sense of fate that love cannot be achieved and that it is difficult to reconcile the broken mirror, cherish the sincerity, and face up to desires and true intentions.
