The snow in Qi State always carries an unbreakable chill.
That year in Northern Xinjiang, when Mingyue Princess Wei Chiyi saw Li Tingyun for the first time, he was being held down with half a jade pendant in his arms that was not supposed to belong to him. She waved her hand to repel the person who bullied him, but she didn't see the sharp light that didn't belong to a beggar suddenly light up in the young man's thin eyes when he raised his head.
The moment a rain of arrows came through the sky, Yuchiyi protected the person behind him, and the red skirt was splashed with blood: "Since I protect your innocence, I will protect you to the end."
When he opened his eyes again, there was a guard beside him.
His sword can split the most cunning hidden weapons, and his wisdom can detect the most sinister plots.
On the day Yuchiyi overthrew Prince Yu, in the shadow of the palace wall, he brushed the snow from her hair, his fingertips trembling slightly: "Princess, it's time to go."
Until Cang Tu's iron cavalry crushed the border, her father's black iron armor pressed her shoulders painfully. In front of the enemy's formation, the usually taciturn guard was actually called "my son" by the leader of the Cangtu Kingdom.
Yujue felt hot in the palm of his hand. She suddenly remembered that on a snowy night many years ago, when the young man stood in front of her, what was hidden in his eyes might never be cowardice, but a stubbornness similar to hers, driven to a desperate situation by fate.
"Li Tingyun," she raised her voice in the beacon fire, her voice wrapped in the wind, "The explanation you owe me, how much blood will it take to pay it off?"
His hand holding the sword paused in the air, with his family and country behind him and her in front of him. And in the cracks of that half piece of jade, a red color called fate, which is colder than snow, is oozing out.
Intention: the lofty choice of family and country justice and personal emotions, the brilliance of humanity blooming in adversity, the lofty realm of love and sacrifice.
