So even though he made a name for himself as a youth, commands the tiger tally, and trains elite troops, all he wishes for is "a house, two people, three meals, four seasons."

But Yu Nuan, my Yu Nuan, I only want to hold your hand and eat a bowl of hot soup noodles at a roadside shop, with little chili, extra scallions, and no cilantro.
Theme: There is no love without reason, and no hatred without reason.
