Snow Weighs on Cangshan

Ye Zhiqiu has a fiance, but as of today, he has been gone for five whole years.

Over the years, she has eaten and drunk as usual, seemingly unconcerned by the so-called fiance who vanished without a word.

Then, in the third month of spring, the man returned to the capital after traveling a thousand miles, and began appearing in front of her from time to time.

At first, she pretended not to know him, avoiding him whenever she could.

But for some reason, ever since he returned, she kept running into one dangerous situation after another, and every time, he would show up just in time.

Finally, one day, she couldn't stop herself from snapping at him, breaking through the awkward distance that had hung between them.

The evening breeze on the river brushed past, stirring their intertwined hems.

"Do you really have to be so distant with me?"

"Do you think I want to be so distant with Your Highness?"

With the sound of the boat cutting through the waves all around her, she fled in disarray, leaving Xiao Yunqi alone to grasp at the river breeze.

[Plot Summary]

Prince Jing, Xiao Yunqi, returned from mourning, throwing the capital into turmoil and leaving everyone on edge.

All sides tried to figure out what he was planning, but no one could see through him.

Some ingratiated themselves with everyone, willing to die for wealth. Some busied themselves currying favor with the powerful. Some burned their bridges in pursuit of justice. Others exhausted every effort to cover up the truth...

Xiao Yunqi saw it all, using the people caught up in the game as his pieces as he played out his strategy.

What does it matter whether one is ruler or subject?

He would kill his enemy with his own hands. He would bring the truth to light. He would make the world see that although its heroes were gone, their passion had not cooled, and that the loyal dead buried across the land could at last see the light of day.
