The moon shines brightly, the cold wind penetrates the window, and the sound of silk and bamboo faintly comes through, like a distant lament in this peaceful night. In the bustling Capital City, there is a mansion named "Zhuo Hua", owned by a prominent court official named Su Wenyuan. He holds great power, is gentle and refined, and is highly regarded by the Emperor. However, behind this wealth and splendor, there lies a secret unknown to others.
Su Wenyuan, thirty years old, stands at eight feet tall, with a scholarly appearance. He is not only a pillar of the court, but beneath this flawless exterior, he harbors a deep secret - a pact with a woman named Jiang Yuwei.
In the mansion of "Zhuo Hua", Su Wenyuan sits alone in his study, lost in thought. The moonlight outside is like water, casting a serene light on his face, reflecting a hint of melancholy in his eyes. At this moment, the letter in his hand feels as heavy as a thousand pounds, for it is a secret letter from afar, containing information that could overturn the entire court.
The matter mentioned in the letter is the secret between Su Wenyuan and Jiang Yuwei. They were deeply in love in the past, but they couldn't be together due to their disparate backgrounds. Now, Jiang Yuwei has suddenly appeared in Capital City, bringing a secret that could shake the foundation of the dynasty. This has put Su Wenyuan in a dilemma.
In the Zhaohua Mansion, the night grows darker. The flickering light in the study reflects the uncertain expression on Su Wenyuan's face. The cold wind outside howls as if telling a poignant story. The entire mansion is shrouded in a stifling atmosphere, making people shiver involuntarily.
In the quiet of the night, Su Wenyuan is still pondering in the study. The letter in his hand has been crumpled, as if bearing the struggle and helplessness in his heart. The moonlight outside is still bright, but there is a hint of determination in Su Wenyuan's eyes. He knows that no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, he must face it all.
"Someone, go to the Jiang Mansion and invite Miss Yuwei to the mansion for a meeting," Su Wenyuan's voice echoed in the quiet study, as if awakening the sleeping night. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, knowing that he had to meet with Yuwei as soon as possible...
Before long, the carriage from Jiang Mansion arrived at the Zhaohua Mansion. Jiang Yuwei stepped out of the carriage, the moonlight shining on her, outlining her cold face. She entered the study and saw Su Wenyuan's affectionate gaze, but her heart remained unaffected. "You wanted to see me," Jiang Yuwei said coldly.
Su Wenyuan stood up and handed the letter in his hand to Jiang Yuwei. Jiang Yuwei took the letter, opened it, and her expression changed instantly. The contents of the letter were all too familiar to her - it was the correspondence of love letters between her and Su Wenyuan from the past, sealed within this secret letter. Those memories long buried in her heart were now reappearing before her eyes.
"Where did they come from?" Jiang Yuwei's voice remained indifferent, but with a hint of questioning. She couldn't understand why these letters would appear in Su Wenyuan's hands, after all, she had personally burned them in front of Su Wenyuan in the first place.
A hint of pain flashed in Su Wenyuan's eyes as he stared at Jiang Yuwei, his voice low, "They were sent by The Jingshi Prince's Mansion."
Jiang Yuwei sneered, she turned to look out the window, the courtyard under the moonlight seemed particularly cold, "Jing Wang, he chose to betray my feelings for the sake of power and status back then. Now, does he want to use these old matters to threaten me again?"
Su Wenyuan fell silent for a moment, knowing that Yuwei was speaking the truth. Back then, Jing Wang had indeed used Yuwei's feelings for him to advance to a higher position. After that, Yuwei chose to leave and bear all the pain alone. Su Wenyuan spoke in a low voice, "I didn't know." As he spoke, a hint of hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes. "But he did send these letters through someone. He might want to use these letters to control you, or... or he might want to reconcile with you."
Jiang Yuwei turned around, looking at Su Wenyuan with cold eyes. "Reconcile? Me and him? When he betrayed me, he had already severed everything between us. Why didn't he give me these letters directly? Why did he give them to you instead? Is he threatening you?"
Su Wenyuan fell silent, knowing that Yuwei was right. Jing Wang's betrayal had deeply hurt Yuwei, and there was no possibility left between them.
"I will take care of these letters," Jiang Yuwei said, her eyes flashing with determination. She couldn't let these letters become a tool for Jing Wang to control her, nor could she allow herself to be bound by the shadows of the past again.
Su Wenyuan looked at Yuwei's resolute gaze, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. He knew that Yuwei's decision was unchangeable; she would never again be controlled by Jing Wang. However, he also understood that there might be a greater conspiracy behind these letters, and he couldn't let Yuwei face it alone.
"Yuwei, let me handle these letters for you," Su Wenyuan's voice carried a firm and determined tone. "I will uncover Jing Wang's true intentions and protect you from any further harm."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Su Wenyuan with a hint of guilt in her eyes. "Thank you, Wen Yuan," Yuwei's voice softened, "but I don't want to burden you anymore."
Su Wenyuan gazed deeply at Yuwei, his eyes full of understanding and tenderness. He gently took Jiang Yuwei's hand and said softly, " Yuwei, you are not burdening me. The conspiracy behind these letters may already involve both of us. As your... as your friend, how can I stand aside?"
Jiang Yuwei pushed away Su Wenyuan's hand. " Wen Yuan, I know what you're thinking. But now I am physically and mentally exhausted, with no interest in love affairs. And you are a rising star, we are no longer possible."
Su Wenyuan felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard Jiang Yuwei's words. He clenched his fists, trying hard to suppress the pain in his heart, his voice trembling slightly: "Yuwei, I don't care about your past. Don't you know? No matter what kind of person you are, no matter what happened in your past, I am willing to be by your side, just because that person is you."
Jiang Yuwei looked at Su Wenyuan's determined eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. But she knew that she couldn't burden others anymore. She took a deep breath and said firmly, " Wen Yuan, thank you for your kindness. But this is my own business, and I have to face it on my own." After saying this, she turned and walked away, but tears fell from the corner of her eyes.
