Five years ago, when I watched "The Legend of Chu Qiao" for the first time, I was deeply attracted by the plot. But at that time, I didn't understand why such an outstanding Yu Wenyue was not as good as a thief wanted by the imperial court in Chu Qiao's heart, and an orphan Yan Xun whose family was ruined. At that time, I thought that Chu Qiao was stupid to choose Yan Xun, obviously there was a better way to go, but he chose the one full of thorns.
Chu Qiao, a ** who survived in the human hunting ground, those cruel scenes are vivid. Just when she was about to die, it was Yu Wenyue who rescued her. He used the wisdom of the ice and snow and the power of an arrow to block the fatal blow for Chu Qiao. However, at that time, Chu Qiao didn't know what secrets and emotions were hidden behind this life-saving grace.
After entering the Yuwen family, in order to survive, Chu Qiao resolutely chose to become Yuwenyue's servant. In her eyes, instead of being bullied arbitrarily by others, it is better to choose a strong master to rely on. Such a decision also complicated the relationship between Chu Qiao and Yu Wenyue. The relationship between them is not only a master and servant, but also a master and apprentice, and it is also an unspeakable love in each other's hearts.
Yu Wenyue did not ask Chu Qiao to sleep, but taught her literacy, martial arts and the principles of life with her heart. He taught her to look at things to the essence, not just at the surface. In such a relationship, the relationship between the two gradually sublimated, but this love became an unspeakable secret in Chu Qiao's heart.
Whenever Yu Wenyue tested Chu Qiao's martial arts, those pure eyes were full of his shadow. However, as a master and a slave, this love has become taboo. It wasn't until Chu Qiao overheard Yu Wenyue's grandfather's conversation that she had doubts about Yu Wenyue. If what her grandfather said was true, then Yu Wenyue's kindness to her might just be a use, and she was just a pawn on his chessboard. This kind of realization made Chu Qiao's heart painful.
Because of this, when Yan Xun reached out to her and invited her to Yanbei, she may have seen the possibility of escaping from her fate. For Chu Qiao, in the face of the choice of love and fate, she chose to bravely pursue the love in her heart.
Such a choice may be full of thorns and challenges, but for her, it is a life path worth fighting for. Under the guidance of Yan Xun's invitation and his mother's suicide note, Chu Qiao finally made up his mind to leave. It's not just accepting Yan Xun's invitation, it's more that she wants to escape from this sad place, leaving the person she loves deeply but makes her miserable.
Yu Wenyue and Yan Xun, both of them are deeply in love with Chu Qiao, but the way they express their love is so different. Yu Wenyue, the cold protagonist, his love is deep and restrained. And Yan Xun, his love is so distinct and so warm.
Yan Xun painted a blueprint for Chu Qiao of Yanbei: there were no slaves there, everyone was free, and they lived happily and harmoniously. This blueprint filled Chu Qiao with yearning, after all, who doesn't yearn for a world of freedom, respect and love? When he was imprisoned, he buried the wine and agreed with Chu Qiao to drink it again after three years. Whenever the aroma of wine overflowed, he would ask how long the time had passed, which not only brought hope to Chu Qiao, but also gave her a purpose and motivation.
Yan Xun also attaches great importance to his status in Chu Qiao's mind. Every time he rescued Chu Qiao, he would half-jokingly remind her of the favors he owed. He never hid his liking and need for Chu Qiao, and his straightforwardness deeply moved Chu Qiao.
And Yu Wenyue, his love is silent. He always showed up when Chu Qiao needed it most, offered critical help, and then left silently. His confession was even rarer, but that time, when Chu Qiao decided to continue to Yanbei after detoxification, Yu Wenyue's confession was full of affection.
He hugged Chu Qiao tightly and told her that he was not worried that Yan Xun was alone in Yanbei, and that the young man who had suffered a great deal needed her. At that moment, Chu Qiao felt Yu Wenyue's deep and sincere love. When Chu Qiao heard Yu Wenyue's words, "I also need you", there were ripples in his heart. This simple but powerful sentence made her toss and turn all night. Her heart was like a war, tangled, struggling, seesawing, if it weren't for him in her heart, she wouldn't have been so painful.
At this time, Prince Liang inserted it and provoked it with words. His words were like cold arrows, pointing straight at Chu Qiao's heart. "Now that you have chosen this difficult path, keep going. His intentions are obvious, but he is sowing discord.
Despite the influence of the outside world and the inner struggle, Chu Qiao still decided to go to Yanbei. Sometimes, the words of others can easily influence our decisions. I once fell in love with a set of clothes, but I gave them up because of the rejection of others. A friend also shared her blind date experience, and because of the persuasion of others, she met again with a man who did not have a good feeling.
Deep in Chu Qiao's heart, he was curious about Yan Bei, he had expectations for the beauty described by Yan Xun, and he was also burdened with his mother's will. Although Yu Wenyue's "I need you" did not clearly put forward the request, for the helpless Chu Qiao, a stable home and a place to settle down is more important than anything else.
The balance of her heart is tilted towards Yan Xun, because Yanbei has the secrets and ideal life she wants to explore. But she ignored Yu Wenyue's deep affection.
When Chu Qiao stepped on the land of Yanbei, Yu Wenyue's figure also quietly approached. At this time, Yan Xun was firmly on the throne of the king of Yanbei. The contradiction between the two gradually emerged, and the biggest contradiction originated from the beautiful army. At the beginning, Xiu Lijun helped Yan Xun because of his trust in Chu Qiao. In Yanbei, whenever the Xiuli Army was wronged, Chu Qiao was always the first to stand by their side.
Once, the clash between the Xiuli Army and the Black Eagle Army was originally a provocation by the Black Eagle Army, but Yan Xun did not stand on Chu Qiao's side this time, but ordered the Xiuli Army to be severely punished. The reason is very simple, Xiu Lijun only recognizes Chu Qiao, not him. This made the contradiction between the two more intense, and it also made Chu Qiao's heart even more wavering.
In the long river of history, the story of Chu Qiao and Yan Xun is like a magnificent picture, depicting the entanglement of power and love. As Chu Qiao's reputation grew, Yan Xun felt threatened, and he decided to take drastic measures to expel those who had helped him from his sphere of influence. Chu Qiao understood Yan Xun's changes, she wanted to leave, but there was nowhere to go. Her hometown of Yanbei is no longer safe, and she has become a wanted criminal in the imperial court, so she can only stay here and live a monotonous and boring life.
However, when Yan Xun decided to attack Yu Wenyue, the fire in Chu Qiao's heart was rekindled. She rushed to danger desperately and vowed to protect Yu Wenyue. In the icy lake, she met Yu Wenyue's heart, and she understood that she owed him too much to repay. And Yu Wenyue, the person who has always been silently guarding her behind her back, also opened his heart to her at this moment. What he needs is not only her, but also her existence, her choices, and her happiness.
Chu Qiao grew up in this choice, she went from liking Yu Wenyue to giving up on him, then choosing Yan Xun, and finally returning to Yu Wenyue's side. This process made her see her true heart. Yan Xun and Yu Wenyue, one gave her power and status, and the other gave her sincerity and protection. And she needs more than that. What she needs is someone who understands her, respects her, and connects with her heart.
In the face of power and love, Chu Qiao finally found his direction. She is no longer confused, no longer confused. She understands that true love is not to be given to the world, but to be understood and accepted. And she will eventually move towards her own bright future. This is not the outcome I wanted, and in desperation, we can only go our separate ways. However, Yu Wenyue is very different from me. He is not good at sweet words, and he will not draw a beautiful blueprint for you, but he has an unwavering heart, and will use practical actions to protect you, support you, and even value your life more than his own.
Because of his introversion and silence, many people misunderstood him and thought he was callous and unapproachable. However, when you really get to know him, you will find that his goodness is so deep and sincere. It's a pity that when Chu Qiao understood this truth, it was already too late. In the play, Yu Wenyue finally sank to the bottom of the lake, while Chu Qiao survived the choice between life and death.
She is faced with a series of difficult choices: should she marry Yan Xun, or leave Yanbei to become a wanted criminal in the Great Wei? Or is there another option? We don't know. However, in life, I sincerely wish that everyone can find their true love, not confused, not entangled, and not missed.
