Not yet Spring

She was a medical woman who collected medicine in a deserted village, and once rescued a young scout who was in a hurry. He enlightened her and taught her literacy, history reading, and understanding of the general trend of the world. It lasts for one year, and then they go their separate ways. When they met again, he was the new emperor who had conquered the Wei Kingdom, and she was the late emperor's concubine who "went to fend for herself" in a side palace of the palace. He thought that sparing her life was to repay an old favor; she thought that her heart was like a dry well, and there would be no more waves. But he realized that she was not weak, and could even be used as a pawn; she realized that she was no longer the girl who only wanted to hide away from the world and collect medicine. He used her family to extract the last of her value. She lost her parents, her maid, and everyone close to her—and finally realized that this "reunion" was a chess game from beginning to end. She doesn't run away anymore. She walked into the depths of power, not for revenge, but only for the common people who were still suffering in the flames of war and tyranny. She made a vow: as long as she was alive, she would devote everything she had to loving others. And he, in the face of each other day after day, discovered that he was suffering from an incurable disease—— It's not poison, it's love. He died in the winter. She lives in the country he built with his own hands, and sees every spring for him.
