Shen Du, the former commander of the Jinyi Guards, was seriously injured and fell in front of the Jiangnan scholar. It was raining heavily, and the man held an umbrella, lowered his eyes, and said only two words: "Come in."
Xie Heng didn't ask about his origins or mention the past. Decoct and change the dressing every day, seal the acupoints with silver needles, and use exquisite techniques. Shen Du didn't speak either, but always turned his back to the direction of the study when practicing his sword. But the two things in the world that can't be hidden the most are coughing and temptation.
Until the dead soldiers who were chasing him climbed over the wall and entered. Twelve men in black died in the moonlight. Shen Du killed seven and Xie Heng killed five. The moment the scholar pulled out the soft sword from his sleeve, Shen Du finally understood - this man as gentle as jade was never some Jiangnan commoner with no power to restrain a chicken.
A lone doctor in the Western Regions, he used a golden needle to stop bleeding and a soft sword to kill people. He said that he hated being plotted against, but Shen Du was the one who fell in front of his door with purpose. The evidence of collaborating with the enemy was with him, and a storm in the court was imminent, but the jade pendant that had been with him for twenty years was left on the desk of his study.
"What does it mean to give something like this to a person?" Xie Heng asked.
Shen Du replied: "I know."
This book is about how two people who remain calm can fall in love. There was no vigorous confession, only a candied fruit handed over when making medicine; there was no promise of eachother, only the look at each other through the morning mist when parting.
He is the sharpest sword among the Jinyi Guards. He has never trusted anyone in his life, but he has left his life in the hands of a scholar. He was a lone swordsman who came and went freely in the desert. He was most afraid of being used as a pawn in his life, but he willingly fell into his game.
A black sword cuts through the wind and snow, and a soft sword protects the world.
They all thought they were lone wolves until they saw the same light at the same time on a rainy day.
Intention: The deepest bond in the world is not that I go through fire and water for you, but that I put my life in your hands and then have a good sleep with peace of mind.
