Qingxingci

An imperial edict pushed Pei Wanyin, the boudoir's daughter, into the general's mansion, and she formed a contract with Shen Yanci, the general of Zhenbei, to marry first and then love. Everyone knows that this iron-blooded general's armor is stained with frost and his knuckles hold a sword, but they don't know that he has half a picture of Qingxing Courtyard hidden on his desk, and that his unspoken past is buried under the old scar on his neck. She stepped into the Marquis's house with gold silk armor in her arms, but she met him under the red hijab as he helped her walk gently; he was used to killing on horseback, but he left a green luan bird cage for her under the eaves, and exchanged dried green apricots for the clear light in her eyes. The millennium bond between the Pisces Jade Pendant and the Kirin Pendant has revealed the dust-laden secrets of two generations; amid the intertwining of palace intrigues and grievances in the world, he used his incomplete knuckles to draw a blueprint for her to escape from the world, and she used her daughter's dexterity to resolve the frost and snow under his armor. When the green luan flutters its wings and flies over the red wall, when the green apricot becomes sweet from its sourness, this contracted couple in troubled times will finally understand: the red thread given by fate is never a shackle, but a glimmer of light that allows two lone stars to recognize each other in the cold night. When the machinations are over and the sincerity begins to appear, let's see how the cold-blade general sows tenderness in the flames of war, and how the boudoir lady makes poems in the chess game.
