About This Novel

Shen Qingci, who was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, was originally a gentle lady from a scholarly family. However, because her family was involved in court disputes, she was sent to the palace and became an inconspicuous talent. The towering red walls of the Forbidden City isolate the mist and rain from their hometown, and also lock up the youth and hopes of countless women. When she first entered the palace, she kept in mind her father's teaching of "hide the front and guard the humble" and walked on thin ice in the turbulent harem, just to protect herself and her family far away in the south of the Yangtze River. However, peace is a luxury after all. When she was of low status, she was repeatedly humiliated and plotted by high-ranking concubines, and her personal maid died tragically to protect her. By chance, she was noticed by the emperor, but she became a pawn to be attracted or suppressed by various forces, and she fell into the dilemma of "favor is disaster". She witnessed her friends being thrown into the cold palace due to competition for favor and losing power, and heard that the family's situation outside the palace was in danger. Her former gentleness was sharpened in desperate situations. In order to survive, in order to protect the people he wanted to protect, Shen Qingci had to lose his innocence, learn to hide his intentions under his smile, and set traps in his words. She formed alliances with the frustrated, relied on invisible forces, navigated the power struggle between the queen and the concubine, and found hope between the emperor's favor and suspicion. Within the red wall, there is an abyss at every step. Every promotion is accompanied by blood and sacrifice. Every time you look back, you may see the remains of your former self. When she finally stood at the height of power, she found that the red wall was still cold, and those things she once cherished had long been shattered into powder in the wind and rain of the palace... This is a tragic song about survival, choice and cost, describing the struggle and helplessness of a woman in the palace.
