In the turbulent period of the early establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the imperial court had not yet been consolidated, and powerful forces were still rampant in various places. Among them, Chen Youliang is famous for his fearless courage and outstanding military talents. However, his fate took a dramatic turn because of an unexpected encounter and Zhu Yuanzhang's intervention, which not only changed his life, but also made Zhu Yuanzhang regret it for the rest of his life.
When he was young, Chen Youliang was handsome and chic, and became famous in the rivers and lakes with his heroic deeds. By chance, he met the beautiful and intelligent Liu and fell in love with her at first sight. The two fell in love and married each other, and lived happily ever after.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang, one of the founders of the Ming Dynasty, developed a strong interest in Liu's beauty and intelligence. Although he already has the ambition of unifying the world, deep down he can't resist the desire for Liu. So, he decided to take her for himself at all costs.
Zhu Yuanzhang used his power and wealth to successfully bring the Liu family into the palace, causing Chen Youliang to fall into deep pain and despair. Although he showed great courage and wisdom on the battlefield and became one of the important military generals in Nanjing, he could never forget the lost love in his heart.
Many years later, when Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Deng Yu's advice and decided to demote Chen Youliang to the head of Jiangbei, Chen Youliang chose to leave Nanjing and go to Jiangbei to start a new life. However, the pain in his heart did not lessen, and he often recalled the good times with Liu and felt remorse for his weakness and incompetence.
In Jiangbei, Chen Youliang worked hard to train the army and expand his power, hoping to save his beloved. He has performed many miraculous feats on the battlefield, but the emptiness in his heart has never been filled.
It wasn't until Zhu Di (the fourth son of Emperor Hongwu) usurped the throne and became the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty that Chen Youliang finally had the opportunity to face Zhu Yuanzhang. He asked to meet and expressed his years of remorse and guilt to Zhu Yuanzhang. He told Zhu Yuanzhang that he had recognized his own shortcomings and flaws, admitted that he did not value the Liu family enough, and only cared about revenge and ignored more important things.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened quietly, with complex emotions in his eyes. He understands Chen Youliang's feelings and can tolerate his mistakes and mistakes. He himself was deeply remorseful, regretting the misfortune that his original decision had brought to Chen Youliang and the Liu family. He realized that he had not learned to let go and that he had not given others the respect and love they deserved.
