During the Dajing period, the powerful minister Xiao Jingyan framed Zhongliang, and the Shen family was brutally wiped out. Only the orphan Shen Qingyan survived. In order to clear up the family's grievances, he went to Beijing alone, deliberately approaching the powerful Yongning Marquis Xie Linyuan on the long street, and used him as a revenge pawn.
Little did Shen Qingyan know, this encounter was already destined. Before the disaster of the Shen family, Brother Shen entrusted his younger brother Shen Qingyan to Xie Linyuan, handing over half of an ancestral jade pendant as a letter. At that time, Xie Linyuan was away at war, unable to save the entire Shen family, and he had to bear the promise and guilt for the rest of his life.
When they first met on Changjie, Xie Linyuan recognized him. He saw through all the plots but was willing to be used. He kept his promise and gradually became affectionate, silently protecting Shen Qingyan from the wind and rain in the court.
When Shen Qingyan was redressed, Xiao Jingyan counterattacked and killed Shen Qingyan with one arrow. Xie Linyuan blocked the arrow with his body and died in the year when Shen Qingyan finally learned to love.
The world is perfect, but the lover will never leave. Shen Qingyan is riddled with regret and returns to the long street where he first met to accompany him until death.
The years rolled around to 2026, and we met again by chance in front of Tiananmen Square, and met for the first time with fate.
Intention: A promise to keep the jade, half a lifetime, deep love in troubled times, life and death separated by life, we meet again.
