Ye Weilan has been trapped by a legacy in this life.
On a rainy night in the south of the Yangtze River, he accidentally met the emperor who was patrolling the south and was taken into the palace. From that day on, his life no longer belonged to him. He had seen great favor, but also experienced neglect - the emperor left him in the side hall in the northwest corner and ignored him. He chopped firewood and gave it to the little chamberlain who was shivering from the cold. He waited in the snow for three days just to ask: "You promised me."
The late emperor left a last edict before his death - he was granted the title of earl and promised to return home. But after the new emperor ascended the throne, he read it out in public and only read the first half. The four words "allow him to return home" were swallowed by him forever.
The new emperor is more domineering and more infatuated than the previous emperor. He stayed with him in the palace for a long time, so long that he couldn't tell whether it was attachment or habit. Until he discovered the truncated edict - it turned out that he could have gone home, and it turned out that his life had been rewritten with a lie.
Many years later, the new emperor climbed the tower alone and stood facing the south of the Yangtze River for a whole day.
The rain in Jiangnan is still falling. Someone has been waiting for him all his life.
Intention: love and possession - both emperors trapped him in the name of love. One learned to let go before his death, and the other took half his life to understand. If love only consists of possession, it will become each other's prison.
