Shen Lian, a young man living under someone else's roof, became acquainted with Su Yinglian, a girl from the Su Mansion, because of the words "Come in". He hid her kindness deep in his heart, and spent twelve years of forbearance and hard work, growing from a helpless orphan to a highly decorated general, just to protect her from worries throughout her life. There was a continuous war at the border, but he did not mention any danger in his letters, leaving only the word "hope for recovery", hiding all his tenderness and concern in every letter home.
When he went on an expedition in late autumn, he promised to "wait for me to come back", but in the end he could not overcome the wind and sand of the battlefield and the weapons of the troubled times. She guarded the courtyard full of sweet-scented osmanthus, waiting for a return date that would never come again. When the belated letter from home arrived, only the ruins of the Su Mansion were left, and the osmanthus sauce in the altar was still warm, and the letter he had written with all his heart and soul, finally fell into the dusk of the capital.
The ripples of the water never reached her shore.
Purpose: Based on the two-way protection and miss of the young general and the noble lady, it describes the involuntary sense of fate in troubled times, and interprets the forbearing and deep love and regrets under the righteousness of the family and country.
