In that era full of magnificent epics, heroes and heroes sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and many forces competed for domination of the Central Plains, that is, the famous Three Kingdoms period in history - the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the political situation in various countries was chaotic. It is in the midst of such troubled times and strife that some extraordinary figures are like shining stars in the night sky, among which the most dazzling are Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan and other heroes. However, behind these heroes and heroes, there is a love story with ups and downs that can not be forgotten for a long time, that is, the lingering and complex intertwined emotional entanglement between Liu Chan and Cai Wenji.
Liu Chan, the heir of the word, is the son of Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, and grew up in the midst of frequent wars since he was a child. He is talented, diligent and hardworking, not only well-read and full of poetry and books, but also proficient in the art of war, full of benevolence, generous to others, won the love and true inheritance of his father Liu Bei. On the other hand, Cai Wenji, whose name is Wenji, is a well-known talented woman in the Eastern Han Dynasty, she is knowledgeable and extraordinary, so she is known as "a talented woman through the ages".
Their first encounter was actually due to a seemingly accidental but actually wonderful occasion. At that time, 18-year-old Liu Chan was in his prime, handsome and open-minded; And 20-year-old Cai Wenji is smart and moving, as beautiful as a fairy. At a grand banquet, Liu Chan was deeply moved by Cai Wenji's melodious piano sound and stepped forward, making them fall in love at first sight, and their eyes collided with each other with fierce emotional sparks. Since then, the two of them have begun a romantic and bumpy love affair.
Unfortunately, however, in those stormy times, free love became almost delusional. In order to consolidate his alliance with Eastern Wu and counter Cao Cao's threat, Liu Bei had no choice but to marry Liu Chanxu to Sun Quan's daughter Sun Shangxiang as a victim of a political marriage. Although Liu Chan felt deeply disappointed by this, he had no choice but to obey his father's orders. When Cai Wenji heard the bad news, she was very sad in her heart, but she couldn't change the fate of herself and her beloved because of her weak strength.
Since then, Liu Chan and Sun Shangxiang have become husband and wife, while Cai Wenji has chosen to leave the hustle and bustle of the world and live in seclusion in a quiet valley, focusing on the study of the qindao, hoping to use the deep trauma in her heart. However, she has always been unable to let go of her deep attachment to Liu Chan, and every night when the moon and stars are scarce, she gently plucks the strings and plays an elegant song "Guangling San", so as to express her endless thoughts for her sweetheart.
With the death of Liu Bei, Liu Chan successfully inherited the throne. However, despite being in a high position, he still couldn't forget the good times with Cai Wenji, so he resolutely abolished his marriage with Sun Shangxiang and tried his best to find the couple he hadn't met for a long time. After many hardships and obstacles, Liu Chan finally found Cai Wenji on the top of a certain mountain. They snuggled up to each other, tears welling up in their eyes, and they were determined to walk together for the rest of their lives.
However, Old Man Fate once again jokes with the two poor lovers. Cao Cao unexpectedly learned that Liu Chan had violated the marriage contract and looked for Cai Wenji without authorization, and suddenly had the idea of waiting for an opportunity to invade the territory of Shu Han, and then sent a large army to capture Cai Wenji, using it as a bargaining chip to threaten Liu Chan. In order to rescue Cai Wenji, Liu Chan could only compromise with the powerful enemy, and reluctantly agreed to cede part of the Shu Han territory in exchange.
During the days when Cai Wenji was under house arrest in Xuchang by Cao Cao, Liu Chan traveled to various places every day, trying to fight for opportunities to save his lover. In an unexpected twist, he successfully rescued Cai Wenji. However, at this time, Cai Wenji was already physically and mentally exhausted, and she was tired of the separation and displacement brought about by frequent wars, so she chose to leave Liu Chan silently and live alone in the mountains and forests far away from the world.
Facing Cai Wenji's departure, Liu Chan was heartbroken, but he still respected her choice and silently borne the pain himself. When night falls, Liu Chan always looks up at the bright moon in the sky, gently taps the strings with his fingers, and plays a song "Guangling San" to express his endless nostalgia for Cai Wenji.
This beautiful legend from love to hate to love eventually became a lingering pain in Liu Chan's heart, and even until his life was dying, he still had a passionate thought about Cai Wenji. And Cai Wenji is lonely in the mountains and forests, although she is no longer with Liu Chan, she still cherishes the love that was once remembered in her heart.
This is the love and hate relationship between Liu Chan and Cai Wenji separated by time and space, but closely linked, their story is full of tragedy, as if it is an ancient song buried deep under the yellow sand, which is exciting. Although two people who love each other can't stay together for a long time, their love is like an eternal star, illuminating the world and turning into a myth that has been passed down for thousands of years, and people will remember it to this day.
