Twin Flowers (Knife and Lock) ➕ Restrained Lover (Prime Minister)
Plot: Qi Yutang, Princess Huaitang of Daqi, is arrogant and decisive. In exchange for three years of rest and recuperation, she resolutely marries Beidi. When seeing off the bride, the first assistant, Xie Yunzhen, recognized this six-year-old old acquaintance who had listened to him discuss politics in the brothel, and he has been guarding her silently since then. Three years later, when the princess returned from a bloodbath in the Beidi Palace, Xie Yunzhen defied all opinions and asked the emperor to marry the princess, confessing that he had been in love with her for seven years. After the marriage, the two got to know each other and stayed together. The princess wore his official robe to approve memorials, and he promised her to be accomplices for the rest of her life. The emperor took his four sons to inspect, his sisters-in-law assisted, and his playboy cousin Zhao Jingyu also changed from being a hindrance to an assist. This couple went from being side by side in court to becoming gentle over time, and eventually became the most touching legend in Daqi.
Copywriting one:
Xie Yunzhen's conversation with Zhao Jingyu in the brothel made him the princess's "spiritual mentor", but he didn't know that the princess heard it.
His love for Qi Yutang began when he first met her when he was six years old. His gaze for more than ten years made him understand her better than anyone else. He doesn't care about worldly opinions or whether she is innocent, he only cares about whether she is well. His deep affection is not possession, but his belief that "I kneel in front of the temple to pray for you, and I am willing to be your servant for the rest of my life."
In front of the princess, he dropped all his defenses and dignity. He allowed her to wear his official robes, criticize his memorials, and even enjoyed being teased and "oppressed" by her. He is not only her accomplice, but also the container of her emotions - she is a decisive killing eagle outside, and he is her only weakness at home.
Copywriting two:
She recognized him as the "sheath" and he recognized her as the "knife". This is a soul contract of equals, not attachment.
She seems casual, but in fact she is very insightful. Faced with the marriage, she did not cry, but saw the situation and people's hearts clearly through the brothel. She chose to marry far away not for sacrifice, but to use her body as bait to give Daqi three years of breathing space. She was a princess in Daqi, but in Beidi she was the most poisonous knife inserted into the enemy's heart.
She did not passively accept Xie Chen, but actively chose and domesticated him. She took a fancy to Xie Chen's resourcefulness and loyalty, teased him with "fairly decent figure", and invaded his territory with memorials. She doesn't need protection, what she needs is an accomplice who can keep up with her thinking and even tell the truth for her.
Whether she is sharing her father's worries, resolving her brother's problems, or protecting Xie Chen's innocence, beneath all her arrogance, there is a deep love and sense of responsibility for her family. She is the backbone of Daqi who chooses to hold up the sky alone amidst the ups and downs.
Purpose: The best love is support, not captivity
