This story has been revised slightly.
Dankè is an elegant name for pear blossoms.
Serious blurb: What a devoted lover, with such a cruel fate. A wealthy young man loves him with all his heart. They should have been birds flying side by side, branches intertwined on the earth. But foreign invaders crossed the border, and the country fell. He resolutely joined the army to defend his homeland, promising to return safely to his beloved, but that promise came to nothing. His bones and remains lie beneath the dust, while the one left behind grows old alone.
Not-so-serious blurb: Gu Zhuxuan falls for the leading performer at a pear garden, but as time passes and he relentlessly pursues him, he discovers that the man is actually his junior fellow disciple!
Please note:
(1) This story is set in a fictional Republic of China era.
(2) There is a secondary couple, but not much, probably just a few lines of description.
(3) This story has little sweetness and little smut, and it has a tragic ending.
(4) There are many characters, the plot logic is a mess, and the romance progresses slowly. Please bear with me.
Theme: For the peace of the country, and the peace of home.
