[Joy of Life] Spring as It Was

Yan Bingyun x Shen Wan'er When he first met her, he was an undercover agent for the Kingdom of Qing, lying low in Northern Qi in pursuit of enemy secrets. When she met him again, she was an orphan from an enemy state. Her brother had entrusted her to him with his dying breath, and she faced an uncertain, helpless future. Their story began with a chance encounter that had been carefully planned for a long time. By the time it ended, they realized that no plan could ever outweigh the chance stirring in their hearts. She thought her feelings for him were one-sided, and that she was following him with all her heart. But in truth, they were pieces on a chessboard, moved about at will, while every flutter of the heart and every moment of sorrow had been calculated step by step. (I love the ideas people on Weibo and Douban come up with so much that I couldn't resist writing about this pairing.) "I only want one answer from you. Which of the things you said before was true?" "I am an officer in the Fourth Bureau of the Southern Qing Censorate. Miss Shen should know that none of it was true." Yan Bingyun, so many people's ties are like dewdrops, appearing at dawn and disappearing at dusk in the blink of an eye. Only you and I are like waves amid the world's shifting currents, swept along by the mortal realm's endless tide, unable to break apart yet barely connected. You should be the place I return to, not the end of my road. I love you, but my country comes first. I love you, but the feud between our families stands between us. This is a story about two people who love each other but do not understand each other. Weibo: Chi La Bu Ke Come say hi! Theme: Loving each other without understanding each other
