The Melody of Solitary Waves

[Dual Female Leads] [Mutual Salvation] [No Romance]

On the day Liuli came of age, the Zuichun House was bustling with activity.

People from every walk of life clutched banknotes and crowded into the hall, all determined to claim the Zuichun House's top courtesan for themselves.

Leaning against the railing on the second floor in men's clothes, Qi Hanyu looked at the tearful beauty before her and asked,

"Liuli, would you let me buy your freedom? Will you come home with me?"

From then on, Liuli became Yueheng, a maid in the Duke of Zhenguo's household.

Unexpectedly, an emergency arose on the southern frontier. Her grandfather was brutally killed atop the city wall, and his corpse was desecrated. The emperor was furious.

The Qi family had amassed enough power to threaten the throne. The officials at court tried to read the emperor's intentions, submitting impeachment memorials one after another.

Freshly returned, Qi Hanyu could only once again volunteer to go to the frontier.

Ahead lay a battlefield stained with blood; behind her, a court that devoured its own.

This journey would be long, with no promise of return. As the lonely melody rises, can an old friend come home?

Yueheng, Yueheng: constant as the moon, rising like the sun, long-lived as the Southern Mountains, never waning, never falling.

Yueheng, is it a blessing or a curse?

When the music ends and the waves grow still, one figure stands alone, nothing left but a lonely shadow facing the flowing river.
