When they first met, Bo Qi was proud and haughty, guarding the four corners of the realm with a long sword in hand. When they met again, Bo Qi stood above all others, clad in white and masterfully directing affairs from behind the scenes.
Later, she danced so beautifully that she captivated the entire city, and married the man who stood above all others, just as she had wished. Later still, Jie Yan became the one Bo Qi yearned for while away at war, and his only weakness.
The last time Jie Yan saw Bo Qi, he was beneath the city wall, among thousands of people, his white clothes stained with blood.
The last time Bo Qi saw Jie Yan, she was smiling atop the city wall. Her smile was as bright as when they first met, and her eyes were gentle.
