The Unsent Brocade Letter and Old Vows

share time: 2025-10-10 04:47:28

Su Wan, an embroidery shop girl, has waited three years for young general Gu Zhao to keep his promise—marrying her after returning from war. But when Gu Zhao comes back to the capital, he’s in a wedding robe, about to marry a powerful minister’s daughter. She clutches the brocade letter full of his vow “I’ll marry you when I triumph” and blocks the sedan chair, only to be coldly dismissed by Gu Zhao: “It was just a joke.” However, late at night, Gu Zhao disguises himself and lingers outside her shop, rubbing a blood-stained half-jade pendant—Su Wan’s token of love. His “betrayal” is actually to save his soldiers held hostage by the minister; he even secretly replaced Su Wan’s “safety talismans” with medicine for battlefield poison. When the minister’s knife is at Gu Zhao’s throat, Su Wan rushes into the prison with the brocade letter: “This isn’t a joke—it’s our lives.”
