Crown Prince Gao Fengqi traveled to Jiuquan Commandery in Liangzhou on official business, and Crown Princess Zhu Yue accompanied him on his journey.
On the highway outside the city, Zhu Yue tugged at his sleeve, reluctant to say goodbye. "I don't care about anything else. Just make sure you bring me back sand-fruit dates from Jiuquan Commandery."
Gao Fengqi: "I'll bring back the whole tree and plant it in your courtyard, so you can eat them every year."
By the time Zhu Yue got the sand-fruit dates, they had already dried out and were too tough to eat.
Because seventeen years had passed.
Gao Fengqi had long since died.
Major warnings:
Both leads are virgins. A sea of bitter love and anguish. Even the punctuation is heartbreaking. Bad ending. Extremely niche story, read with caution.
Theme: Growth.
