当年万里觅封侯

あらすじ

Yu Ziyou and Zhong Wan pledged allegiance to different sovereigns. Both of them were talented people who appreciated each other yet had clashed openly and covertly before. After losing the fight for the throne, Zhong Wan brought his two young masters with him to the distant frontier. For the sake of survival, he relied on that bit of friendship that existed between him and Yu Ziyou when they were young. He borrowed some of his personal belongings while also dropping various hints which made everyone think that there was something intimate going on between them. Given the Yu Clan’s powerful authoritative presence in the imperial court, this layer of relationship allowed Zhong Wan to live a much better life than before indeed. In addition, the stories he cooked up began to seem more and more realistic. As rumors of their lovely romance spread a thousand miles into the horizon, Yu Ziyou, who was located in the distant capital city, eventually caught wind of his deeply moving and epic love affair. Having been completely brainwashed for seven years, Yu Ziyou fell into a trance and believed the stories. It seemed like something special really did happen between them back in those years…
