Feng He Ju 风荷举 by 桃籽儿 Tao Zi Er

Synopsis:


Ten years ago, during a heavy snowfall in Jiankang, she suddenly heard the swaying of copper bells amidst the spears and halberds at the city gate. She looked up to see a man with phoenix eyes like tempered steel; from that moment on, she became a lotus blossom sheltered beneath his shadow.

During those ten years of chaos between the North and South, she lay upon his knees under the dissolving moonlight of the Wind-Swept Lotus Pavilion. From then on, she understood his heart's deepest desires: he sought both to shoulder the weight of the rivers and mountains and to stay by her side forever.

Ten years later, amidst the gloom of wind and rain, she sat with him for a candlelit talk before sending him up the Yao Mountains, where torches lined the path like a dragon. This time, it was finally her turn to hold the lotus leaf high, shielding the man who had always cherished her like a precious pearl from the wind and rain.

Time acts as a tether, and the mountains and rivers stretch on, but as long as I see you, it is "one by one, the wind-swept lotus rises."
