Both brothers fell in love with the same girl when they were teenagers. The girl is gentle, beautiful, and smart. The three of them grew up together as childhood sweethearts. At first, the girl treated the two brothers equally. Later, when she got older, she gradually began to care about the girl's family, and fell in love with her gentle brother. The younger brother was very discouraged and sad. He didn't understand why his elder brother had all the good things. He had supreme power and all the honors and favors in the world, but now he even wanted to take away his beloved girl.
He even didn't understand why, in order to please the girl he loved, he climbed up a tree to pick out newly hatched swallows to play with her, and even broke his head, but he couldn't get the tenderness and comfort she gave her brother.
When the younger brother was seventeen, the girl he loved married him and became his sister-in-law.
His brother and sister-in-law were loving and harmonious. He often heard news from the palace. His brother had given his sister-in-law something, and he stayed by her bedside all night because she was sick. They had added a prince and a little princess...
He felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, because he was already domineering, arrogant and ambitious, so he began to secretly plan a rebellion to seize his brother's throne and replace him. At this time, news suddenly came that his beloved girl had died of illness. He was deeply grieved, his emperor was grieved, and his emperor brother was even more sad. Seeing that he was getting thinner day by day, he was addicted to the longing of the past and couldn't extricate himself. Gradually, the government was almost abandoned, so he became more determined to rebel.
But rebellion is a big deal that requires long-term careful planning and deployment. If you make one mistake, everything will be lost.
This day was the Chinese Valentine's Day, and there were lanterns on the riverside. He went to watch the fun. When he was standing by the Yingying River in melancholy and reverie, he suddenly heard a clear and beautiful voice calling him "Master, Master" repeatedly.
He turned around, but was stunned at that moment, thinking that he had been dazzled by what he saw. There was a very beautiful boat girl standing on a dilapidated small ferry on the river. Her curved eyebrows, smiling eyes, and oval-seed face clearly looked exactly like the girl he loved.
The only difference is that the boat girl in front of her has a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.
