[Use one's body as bait + protect one person alone + hide the sword's light with laughter + deep game within game + love is sacrifice + weeping blood in the prosperous age + infamy + peach blossom bones + farewell of life and death + lingering regrets]
When we first met in Chang'an, Shen Ci was an idle young man who made jokes in the market, and Jiang Mu was a bright girl among the generals. He defended her against gangsters and lost the chess game. She said "I'll protect you" from the peach blossom forest, which made her blush.
But who knows, all the laughter and curses are just disguise. The chess game played by Shen Cibu has already included the court, the aristocratic family, and even his own life. He is a chess player in the dark, using flesh and blood as bait to lure the wolf into the urn, just to exchange for peace and stability for half a lifetime.
The only exception was Jiang Mu, who tried his best to get out of the chessboard even though he had tried everything. He framed his relatives, tarnished his reputation, and was even willing to be a "traitor" with several arrows in his body, just to keep her away from swords and swords and keep her clean for the rest of her life.
The birthday banquet was unexpectedly changed, and he executed her in public, leaving her in Jiangnan to hear the accusation of "traitor Shen Ci". It wasn't until she opened the belated suicide note - "I owe my whole life to you alone" that she realized that those estrangements, betrayals, and life and death were all the protective net he had woven with his life.
The peach blossoms in Chang'an bloom every year, but there is no such deadbeat figure anymore. She guarded the peaceful and prosperous age, and also guarded a memorial ceremony that no one knew about. It turned out that the most painful thing was not the sacrifice, but the love that he used to destroy, and she had to spend the rest of her life to pay for it.
1. Using one's body as bait: The male protagonist uses his own life as the key to the plot, which creates an ultimate sense of pulling;

3. Laughter hides the brilliance of a sword: The superficial comedy hides a deadly plot under the daily routine, which is full of tension;
4. Deep within the game: the nesting and reversal of intrigues subverts readers' expectations;
5. Love is sacrifice: Love is bound to destruction, poking at the pain points of sadomasochism;
6. Weeping blood in prosperous times: Under peace, there are tragic sacrifices of individuals, which triggers deep thinking;
7. Infamy: The truth is exposed after the death of the male protagonist, and the delayed justice is even more tragic;
8. Peach Blossom Ember Bones: Emotionally contrasting with death, the image is tear-inducing;
9. Farewell between life and death: Saying "forget me" with a smile, the farewell scene directly touches the heart;
10. Love and hate last forever: The heroine will keep her memories for the rest of her life, and the tragedy will have a long aftertaste.
