The northern border is covered with frost and snow all year round, and the turbid atmosphere of the abyss breeds frost and famine. The sixteen-year-old prince Luli shouldered the thousands of miles of border defense in the northern border alone, guarding the border with turmoil with his sharpness, but he was deeply trapped in the suspicion and balance of the Zhongzhou court. Temple priest Ling happy was ordered to go north to assist the government. Everyone thought she was a monitor installed by the imperial power. Only the two of them knew that her journey thousands of miles away was originally a journey for a young and old acquaintance.
When they were young, they played in the wind and snow in the wilderness of northern Xinjiang, and made a simple promise not to seek eternity, but to live together for the rest of their lives. During the years when they governed Beiting side by side, Luli wielded a sword to suppress chaos, and Lingxi used the holy light to overcome the sufferings. They stayed together in the cold nights, and shared the mountains and rivers. Each other was the only warmth of the other in the lonely years.
But the undercurrent in the court is turbulent, the evil conspiracy is approaching step by step, and the fateful gap lies between the two. The stance of family and country, the slander of the world, and the shackles of blood will eventually push those who used to be side by side to the opposite side. The old friends who used to play around were forced to separate. One person returned to the desolate land of Frost Ember Spirit Ruins, while the other stayed in the world to guard the lights of thousands of families.
Year after year, Lingxi lit thousands of lanterns to express his longing for her, guarding the unfinished life; Luli hid in the cold wilderness of northern Xinjiang, looking at each other across the mountains and seas, the old covenant became a regret, the wind and snow remained the same, and it was difficult for the old friend to return. This is a northern tragedy that begins with a childhood reunion and ends with a fateful separation. It hides the tenderness of staying together for half a life and the long-lasting regret of missing out in a lifetime.
Intention: The power of the family and the country crushes the friendship of young people. Even though they are separated by mountains and seas, the two have not changed their original intentions. They use regret to interpret the perseverance and tenderness in their fate.
