In the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, Su Yichen, the only son of the Su family with outstanding talents, wrote a poetic life with his gentle and jade-like appearance. In the capital, Xie Xiao, the son of a general, relied on his heroism and ambition to protect his family and country. During a poetry gathering, the two met their eyes and began a deep friendship. They rode horses to compose poems and drank under the moonlight, becoming close friends.
There was an emergency at the border, so Xie Xiao decided to go on the expedition. Su Yichen gave him a personal jade pendant as a gift, hoping for his safe return. However, the situation in the court suddenly changed. The Su family angered the emperor because of their loyal words and outspoken advice. They were falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason and were destroyed. The victorious Xie Xiao was shocked and grieved, and desperately went to the palace to plead for mercy, but was reprimanded by the emperor.
Afterwards, treacherous ministers took the opportunity to frame Xie Xiao for rebelling with his troops. The emperor was afraid of his prestige and had him stripped of his military power and imprisoned. In the dark cell, Xie Xiao clutched the jade pendant tightly, filled with regret. In the end, Xie Xiao was taken to the execution ground. During the execution, he looked at the sky, Su Yichen's smiling face appeared in front of his eyes, tears burst into his eyes, and as the light of the knife fell, a beautiful and tragic friendship came to an end, leaving only endless regrets.
Concept: Su Yichen and Xie Xiao formed a deep friendship across their differences in origin and personality. One is elegant and gentle, the other is bold and heroic, but they can fit together spiritually. No matter in good times or bad, we care about each other. This friendship is especially precious in troubled times, highlighting the power and beauty of pure friendship.
