In the 19th year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the golden bell on the eaves of Zhaoming Hall in Nanliang was broken into powder in a heavy rain.
The regent princess Xiao Mingwan held the young emperor's hand and saw Beiyan's cavalry trampling through the Jiankang City Gate on Zhuque Terrace. The young man who once shared half a piece of jujube cake with her finally crushed her empire with the art of war she taught her.
Everyone knows that the regent princess raises thirty people, but they don't know that there is a faded "Viewing the Crane" hanging in the dark room of Changming Palace.
The man in white playing the piano in the painting is Xie Jue, the legitimate son of the Xie family who fell into the Hanjiang River ten years ago - the young star she broke off with her own hands is also half of the face of the regent of Beiyan hidden under the bronze mask.
When the flames of the Suzaku Terrace dyed the dusk of Jiankang City red, Xie Jue held the bloody scabbard and approached step by step: "Wanwan, back then you said you wanted to play a game of chess with me, but did you think that today we will lose everything?"
Xiao Ming put on the jade hairpin he gave her and fell into the smoke with a smile: "Ajue, the last lesson you taught me is - I'd rather have jade broken."
In a place where the setting sun was like blood, someone picked up half a blood-stained jade. On the back was engraved small characters from the third year of Yongchu: I wish to be a pair of cranes and clear the sky for nine days.
