The snow in Chang'an that year was heavy, enough to bury a lifetime of unspoken love.
[The most cowardly thing Pei Zhaoheng has ever done in his life is to push Shen Zhiwei away with his own hands.
On the night of the wedding, Pei Zhaoheng, the Minister of Punishment, turned around and left after lifting his hijab, leaving Shen Zhiwei with a blood-stained white plum.
Everyone knows that Second Young Master Pei is cold-hearted, but they don't know——
He would stay outside the door all night while she slept, tasting all the herbs for her medicine;
Every letter she wrote is hidden in the secret room of his study, and there are little rhododendrons painted on the corners.
[The bravest thing Shen Zhiwei has ever done in her life is to walk to that cell even though she knew she was going to die.
When she was holding the golden hairpin that pierced the eyes of the governor of Beiya, she suddenly remembered——
In the rain that day, his moon-white sleeves were stained red with blood, but he said to her "take care";
It was snowing in Chang'an that night. He knelt in front of the steps, coughing up blood, and copied the last page of the Diamond Sutra for her.
[There is a whole troubled world between them.
He is the legitimate son of the Pei family, and his body is tied to the family's prosperity and decline for hundreds of years;
She is the pearl of the Shen family, and the dynasty is hidden in the chess game.
When the truth finally came out, only half of the mandarin duck pendant was left on her wrist, while he had the gold hairpin buried in his heart for ten years.
[Later historical records recorded: In the winter of the 14th year of Jinghe, Pei's old plum blossoms suddenly sprouted new branches, and two cranes were perched on the treetops, staying there all day long.
——Pei Zhaoheng, if there is an afterlife, you must first say you love me.
--Good.
