Silent Under the Locust Trees

Reading Guide Male protagonist's perspective, no cp/family orientation Non-traditional cool writing, slow-burn drama, and feelings about family and country. The portraits of the powerful strategists in the past life (enemy generals/colleagues/emperors) are the spiritual inheritance of this life. A thousand-year-old lonely soul, waiting for a late spring. He forgot who he was. He only remembered that his surname was Shen and that he had probably worked as a counselor. He was trapped in this abandoned house, watching the sun rise and the moon set, and watching the locust tree in front of the court wither and flourish again. For thousands of years, no one could see him until the child named Shen Zhao was born. He watched the child grow from a wrinkled baby to a strong-faced young man. Teach him how to play chess and tell him that "chess is dead, but people are alive." When Shen Zhao was nineteen years old, he put on his military uniform and walked towards the blazing battlefield without looking back. Later, the letter from the house was broken. Looking at the deserted courtyard, looking at myself still standing alone. He didn't know what he was waiting for. Until the spring of thirty-four years, thunderous cheers came from the distant mountain col—— "Victory! We have won!" At that moment, thousands of years of memories came flooding back. He finally remembered that his name was Shen Juan, with the courtesy name Lingyi. Recalling the day when the city was broken and the city was burned with fire, he refused the enemy general's offer to "come with me" to stay, calmly faced the blade, and died for his country. Thinking of the time when the sword was added to the body, the sun was very good, just as good as today. It turned out that what he had been waiting for for a thousand years was not Shen Zhao's return. Instead, he is waiting for a young man to walk the unfinished road for him and see for him this peaceful and prosperous age, where the mountains and rivers are safe. He smiled and raised the invisible cup to the void. Get what you want
