Flower Message from the Motherland

As the Zhaoning Empire gradually declined, the imperial court decided to send young students to study in the Kingdom of Olivia, hoping to find a new way out from the West. It was during this era that Shu Linhan left his hometown and entered the Royal Academy. There, he met Eleanora Deville, the only daughter of the Duke of Deville. One comes from the East, the other grew up in the West; one shoulders the ideal of revitalizing the motherland, and the other bears the responsibility of a noble family. Five years of college life has allowed them to go from strangers to knowing each other, and from knowing each other to falling in love. It also made them believe that no matter where they are in the future, there will always be a day when they will meet again. After graduation, they got married. Not long after Eleanora was pregnant with the child, Shu Linhan was ordered to return to China to participate in the reform. The two agreed to wait until everything settled down before welcoming their new life together. However, none of them waited for that day. The restoration failed, and the Shulinhan family suffered drastic changes; the revolution swept through the Kingdom of Olivia, and the Deville family was also destroyed in the war. Letter after letter stopped halfway, and each promise was made no one kept. Young people who were once full of expectations ushered in completely different endings in their respective hometowns. This is a story about meeting, growing up, parting and waiting. It is also a story about two young people who clearly love each other deeply, but ultimately failed to finish that spring together.
