[Everyone knows that Xiao Jingyan, the seventh prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is weak and sickly, as fragile as glass. Only Pei Yunchuan, the son of General Zhenbei, is willing to protect him from the snow for the rest of his life.
"If I die in battle, don't wait for me."
"If you die in battle, I will accompany you."
In the late winter of that year, the young general went on an expedition to the north. Before leaving, he handed a bronze key to the seventh prince and said with a smile: "When I return in triumph, use it to open the front door of my Pei family and marry you."
But the wind and snow in the north were too cold, obliterating the return journey.
When good news came frequently, Jingyan lit a lamp in front of the Buddha and prayed for his safety; when bad news came, he coughed up blood and dyed the scroll red, but still refused to believe that the man had been buried in the sea of snow.
A year later, the palace officials discovered that the Seventh Prince passed away peacefully in the Plum Garden, clutching the already cold jade pendant in his hand.

He died in the snow, and he died in the spring waiting for his return
Intent: The settings of "weak" and "military general" constitute a metaphor of destiny - when secular identity conflicts with the essence of the soul, true courage is what life should be like. Jing Yan wrote frontier poems with a scholar's pen, while Pei Yunchuan embroidered peace charms with the hands of a military general. In the process of fighting against fate, the two completed each other's lives.
