In the fourteenth year of the Republic of China, in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River that was in turmoil, ethics and ethics were still like a tight network, trapping everyone.
Wishing Star is a gentle scholar from a scholarly family. He has been trained in the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules since he was a child. He has a gentle and restrained temperament, but in his heart he has the courage to break through the shackles. Lu Zexiao is the young marshal stationed here. He is dressed in military uniform and is unruly and fierce. He is a sharp blade that cuts through the wind and waves in troubled times, but he is extremely gentle to Shen Qingci.
The love between the two is the most taboo secret in troubled times. Looking at each other when no one is around, staying together in the alley late at night, and whispering a few words are all the salvation of each other. The feudal secular world cannot tolerate this over-the-top friendship. Rumors and rumors sweep across the city like a tide. Pressure from the family, scorn from the world, and exclusion from the military and government put layers of shackles on the two.
In order to preserve their family status, the Xu family forced Wishing Star to marry a well-known woman and cut off all his thoughts. In order to protect him, Lu Zexiao did not hesitate to make enemies of all forces. In the end, he was weak and was accused of treason.
The execution ground was set up on the day of frost, when the autumn wind was bleak and the fallen leaves were flying.
Lu Zexiao, wearing a blood-stained military uniform, stood on the execution platform, looking at Shen Qingci at the end of the crowd from a distance, with no trace of regret in his eyes. The moment the gun rang out, Wishing Star held the hidden short blade and stabbed it into the heart without hesitation.
He ran towards the man who fell to the ground step by step, his plain gown soaked in blood. At the last moment, he lay beside Lu Zexiao, gently holding his cold hand, his eyes gentle and relieved.
The shackles of the world have trapped them all their lives, and the ups and downs of troubled times have worn away their tenderness.
The sky was pale, covering the two dependent bodies. No one would criticize their affair anymore, just treating them as two nameless souls in troubled times.
The ethics and teachings of the world remain the same, and the wind and rain still do not stop. They were the only ones who broke free from all the shackles and were able to stay together year after year in the bleak autumn wind and never be separated.
Intention: Love that is not tolerated by the world can only be fulfilled by death
