Jiang Weiqing, whose family was ruined, went to Beijing alone to take the exam, and was rescued by Li Zaiyang and his grandfather.
In the process of getting along, Jiang Weiqing was infected by Li Zaiyang's pure and sincere emotions. He did his best to do farm work, save money, and taught Li Zaiyang to read, planting the dream of taking the imperial examination in his heart.
He carried the secret of his father's unjust death, and when Li Zaiyang saw it, he confessed the secret.
Time flies by, and the reluctance to part ways sows the seeds of longing. Five years later, Li Zaiyang came to Beijing and the two reunited.
Li Zaiyang told Jiang Weiqing the truth that he learned only after he became an adult. In order to find out the truth, clear his father's name, and seek justice, the two people, who had no background, supported each other and worked hard in the huge Chang'an to find out the truth. At the same time, the two people's feelings for each other are no longer just brothers and friends.
However, the sea of officialdom is very deep. Jiang Weiqing was deeply involved in the villain's slander, and his secret was revealed. He was demoted, but Li Zaiyang, who was liked by the princess, was spared. He asked to let Jiang Weiqing come back because he belonged to Chang'an, and the price was to marry the princess.
Later, Jiang Weiqing realized that if he could choose, he would rather go back to that summer and live peacefully in a small house with Li Zaiyang. In order to fulfill his responsibilities, he did not live his own life. Success and fame are not what he wants.
The emperor ignored government affairs and was greedy for pleasure, rebellions broke out, and wars left corpses everywhere. The persistent truths in the past lost their meaning under the torrent of time, and bad guys who could not be defeated died ordinary deaths. In the end, the two reunited again. Life has been ups and downs, and I only want to grow old with you.
Intention: Life has ups and downs, and there is no end. Many things that I cared about in the past are not that important. The most important thing is self-pursuit and true happiness.
