In the misty and gentle countryside of Jiangnan, Su Qinghuan, a lady from an aristocratic family, and Shen Linchuan, a young general who fell in love with bright clothes and angry horses. At that time, the relationship was just right, and the two of them made a private promise for life, using the moon as an alliance and the heart as a betrothal. They agreed that when he calmed down the war at the border, they would take off their armor and return to the fields, hold hands together year after year, and enjoy the good nights in the world together.
A military order to rush to the mountains and rivers broke up the lingering love between children. Shen Linchuan went to the battlefield in Saibei, where the sky was full of yellow sand and the flames of war continued. At first, Hongyan sent letters and missed each other, so that the two people separated by mountains and seas always cared about each other. However, the border war suddenly changed, the army was deeply surrounded, and news was completely cut off. There is no more news about him in the world.
For three whole years in the Spring and Autumn Period, the bright moon waxed and waned, and it was still late to return home. Bad news came from the government and the public: the entire army was wiped out, and Shen Linchuan died on the battlefield with no bones left. The whole country mourned, and the Su family was in grief. In order to save the family's face, the elders forced Su Qinghuan to let go of her old relationship and remarry a prominent figure in the dynasty.
She refused to obey, shedding tears, holding on day and night, exhausting all her expectations. In the end, she could not resist the secular rules and the pressure of her family. In desperation, she cut off her black hair, sealed her true heart, agreed to the marriage, and completely buried her youthful love for mountains and seas.
On the night of the wedding, when the red candles were burning, everyone congratulated them on their marriage, but she was the only one who was filled with desolation. Unexpectedly, Shen Linchuan, who was covered with weather and scars, traveled thousands of miles in wind and snow and narrowly escaped death.
The mountains and rivers are intact, the moon remains bright, and the sky remains the same year after year. But the two people who had promised to spend the rest of their lives together were separated by a secular engagement, nine years of desolation, and half a lifetime of regrets.
But for the rest of my life, we will share the moonlight for thousands of miles and have long nights together.
